PatsFanTX Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Could be the Jets most underrated player of all time. It's an absolute crime he is not in the HOF. Absolutely dominated the Colts in SB III. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

77DRAFT Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 God Bless Winston Hill, one of my favorite Jets, met him on the field at Shea after a loss to Patrriots back in the 70's. One of the games greats. Heaven should be proud tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcat Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Winston Hill was one of the best all time players for the Jets. Underrated. Was a key cog for the Jets in the Weeb Ewbank era. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roscoeword Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Big no. 75 - Winston Hill is a guy old time Jet fans will never forget. Was so consistent, always there, like Brick. We always had a good running game with him around, whether Boozer or Snell - the guy was a rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoadFan Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 I was fortunate enough to meet him once about 10 years ago. I was with my uncle and brother at a Sunday morning cajun brunch at Pappadeaux's restaurant in Denver. We were sporting our Jets gear as it was gameday. A huge man comes over and sits at our table. " Jets fans, huh? That's cool. Do you know who I am?" Blank stares. "I'm Winston Hill." My uncle says "Oh yeah, #75, you were great!" My brother and I weren't old enough to know an O-Lineman from the Namath years. Chatted with us a couple of minutes and then returned to his family. Glad we got to meet him. Nice man.

Mainejet Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Probably the best OL we ever had. He owned the Colts in SB III. IMO, he was clearly the MVP of that game. But it never works out that way. OL always go overlooked because they don't catch passes or run the ball. Anyway, it's an honor to have had him playing for the NYJ. Condolences to the Hill family...

kelticwizard Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Never forget him. Absolutely anchored the offensive line and moved 'em right out of the way. One of the most important Jets in the AFL's formative years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savage69 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 32 minutes ago, southparkcpa said: tell POPS Thank you. I barely remember HILL but I remember enough. Hill was drafted by the Colts but signed with the AFL Jets and was Joe's blindside tackle for his whole career.. Hill played for the Jets from 1963-1976 and played in 195 consecutive games during that span. That streak was kept alive even though he suffered a broken leg in the 1965 preseason and had his throat stepped on in 1974. He finished his long career with three games with the Rams in 1977. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/jets/winston-hill-member-jets-super-bowl-iii-champions-dead-74-article-1.2615681 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

section314 Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 If you believe in omens, Brick retires a few weeks back, and now Winston Hill passes, is there any doubt our pick tonight will be a tackle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatsFanTX Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 tell POPS Thank you. I barely remember HILL but I remember enough. Next time you watch a replay of SB 3, focus in on Hill. He absolutely dominated the Colts DLine that day. Namath called all the plays in that game, he was smart enough to run Snell and Boozer to the left all day long. Awesome player who has never received the accolades that he deserved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
