And, the first man ever to wear #56 for the Jets/Titans.  MLB Roger Ellis.  Started 13 games for the Titans in their inaugural 1960 season.

After he left the Jets in 1963, Ellis went on to a career as a Secret Service Agent, working on protection details for Presidents Ford and George HW Bush.

In the first year of Shea, when he made a tackle, the PA announcer would say "Guess Who" and the crowd would answer "Wa-hoo!" Anyone here  remember that?

Yup.

"Tackle by Who?"

"Wahoo!!!"

I believe he also had the name "Wahoo" on his jersey rather than McDaniel; although that may have been after he moved on to the Dolphins.

Jerry Holmes. Not many notable players wore this number for the Jets. Holmes had 14 interceptions over 6 seasons for gang green in the 1980's.

talk about a guy who had a slight build.  he makes robbie look like the terminator.
