Former Jets center Nick Mangold has died. He was 41.
The Jets announced on Sunday morning his “sudden passing.”
Mangold, a first-round draft pick in 2006, spent 11 years with the team. He was a two-time All-Pro and a seven-time Pro Bowler. He’s a member of the Jets’ Ring of Honor. He is one of the 52 modern-era candidates for the 2026 Hall of Fame class.
News had emerged earlier this month that Mangold was in need of a kidney transplant.
We extend our condolences to Mangold’s family, friends, teammates, and coaches.
