Building A GGN All Time Jets Team: Cornerback

We have the 23rd position filled on the GGN All Time Jets Team. The winner of the fourth vote at Cornerback is: Antonio Cromartie!

Antonio Cromartie played 11 years in the NFL, from 2006 through 2016. Five of those years Cromartie was with the Jets. He earned first team All Pro honors in 2007 and was selected to the Pro Bowl four times, twice with the Jets. Cromartie ranks 31st all time in career passes defended with 117.

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.
