munchmemory Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Is Leon bringing an unknown kid who can run back kicks like him? Good luck with the job, Leon. You are one of my all time favorite Jets. Hated when you got hurt and we let you go. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First player in Division I-A history to pass for 2,000 yards and run for 1,000 yards in a season twice in a career. Second player in Division I-A history to rush for 1,000 yards and pass for 2,000 yards in a season. And an Academic All-American to boot.

Leon Washington was an ELECTRIC player for the Jets. He will INSTANTLY gain the players undivided attention given his very impressive accomplishments on the field.

rangerous Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 leon was one of those guys that just had the knack for returning punts. *always a danger of breaking a long run on any punt return. i hope he can coach as well as he returned punts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcoops Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Kinda weird that the Jets have announced Leon has been hired, but still haven't announced that Boyer is back or confirmed the hires of the Safeties, CB, LB coaches or Assistant ST coordinator. We have heard who these guys are through the media, but the Jets haven't announced them yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boyer and the new Assistant ST coordinator aren't listed with the coaches on the Jets website and neither are those new guys. But Washington, who just got hired, is already on there. It's just odd.

GreenFish Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Nice! Always been a big fan of his. My wife never watches the Jets. But back in the days, she would every now and then and Leon Washington always seem to make a play when she was watching. He’s the only Jets player she knows.

Irish Jet Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Loved the guy. Sucked that he got hurt and missed out on his money. Great to see him back. Probably still a better returner than Berrios. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alka Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 5 hours ago, Jets Voice of Reason said: Man, love to hear this. He was a phenomenal return man for us and little things like having one foot out of bounds while touching the kickoff with one foot inbounds to cause a penalty was really heady stuff. I never knew this rule until Leon Washington did that. I was impressed with how smart the guy was, and as you said, Heady! A good word for Leon. He had a big heart, and always had a smile on his face. The Jets need more players like Leon Washington! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
