We have the 22nd position filled on the GGN All Time Jets Team. The winner of the third vote at Cornerback is: James Hasty!
James Hasty played 14 years in the NFL, from 1988 through 2001. The first seven years of Hasty’s career were with the Jets. He was a bright spot in an otherwise dismal stretch of Jets football. During Hasty’s seven years with the Jets the team never won more than eight games in any season. Hasty earned Pro Bowl honors twice, but never with the Jets. A big, physical cornerback, Hasty led the NFL in interceptions in 1999 and he made the NFL All Rookie team with the Jets in 1988.
From now until mid July I’ll be putting up a daily poll asking GGN to vote on the best Jets players of all time. The idea here is to build a 55 man roster of the best players ever to wear the Green and White. The roster will consist of 26 offensive players, 26 defensive players, and three special team players.

Every day I will be putting up a poll at one position. The choices will be limited to players who were on the Jets roster for at least three seasons. I will not be including players who were great for other teams but not great for the Jets (for example, guys like Matt Forte or LaDainian Tomlinson will not be included in the polls, though both those guys would be excluded for not meeting the three year rule as well). Each day we will close the previous day’s poll and the candidate with the most votes will be added to the GGN All Time Jets Team. In the event of a tie vote both players will be added to the team.
In the event I have made an egregious omission and a name you think should be on the poll is not there you can write in candidates in the comments section. If a player gets support in the comments section I’ll add him to the next day’s poll.
So let’s get to it. Today we continue voting on the cornerbacks. Who will it be? Vote early, vote often, and let’s hear who you think are the best players ever to have played for the New York Jets.
