Mangold said learning of the honor was “as shock.” He said he was honored to be part of this with Ferguson and Revis.
“Congratulations you two. I feel like I’m the third wheel here, so I appreciate you guys letting me in. But it’s definitely an honor and I can’t wait to start the celebrations,” he said, as reported by the team’s official website.
He was drafted by the Jets in 2006 and spent all 11 years of his NFL career with the Jets, starting 171 games, including playoff games, for the team. The star center was selected to seven Pro Bowls and was selected for First Team All-Pro twice.
