Coffee with the Jets: Patriots author greatest comeback ever

For the 39-year-old Brady, this could well be the ultimate Coup de Grace in a career defined by great play on the biggest stage. Even with his seemingly limitless play, even Brady will slow down sooner rather than later. At some point, perhaps this point, Brady will have won his last championship.

I think there came a point in Michael Jordan’s career where even the rival fans of his team couldn’t really hate him just because of how much you marvel at his greatness. I’m not even that upset because I’m just in such awe of how good this performance was.

Will the quarterback position be something that the Jets look to address again this offseason? You can be sure there will be at least one added in the NFL Draft; Mike Maccagnan’s draft strategy includes always selecting at least one quarterback. But could the Jets look to address quarterback in free agency?

“The biggest thing I took from him is being able to read defenses,” said Powell, who described himself as a jittery and impatient runner as a rookie. “He told me, ‘One day, when you’re able to look at a defense and digest a defense, the game is going to slow down for you. That’s when you have the most fun.’ “

Mawae played eight seasons with the Jets, made eight Pro Bowls and six All-Pro teams over his 16-year career and was instrumental in transforming the Jets from a pre-Parcells laughingstock into a respected franchise. He revolutionized the center position and was named to the all-decade team for the 2000s, leading to a spot among the 15 modern-era finalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2017.

“Now that it’s here, it’s really amazing and mind-boggling at the same time because you’re remembered forever,” Tomlinson told newyorkjets.com ahead of the announcement. “For me it set in when someone told me the bust lasts 40 thousand years. That’s incredible, because once I’m gone, and my kids and their kids and their kids are gone, that bust will still be here with my name on it.”
