Age 32, calling it quits. He played 10,707 of a possible 10,708 offensive snaps during his career w/ the Jets. Thats impressive.

Wow that is impressive .
One of these years the jets will get it right. It's been almost 50 years since they've made a Super Bowl ! I don't even think they've even hosted a championship game since .

And the one snap he missed was on a trick play! Not only did he never miss a game, he reportedly never missed a practice. Was never on an injury report. Incredible by today's standards.
I recall Jets fans who were pissed Jets didn't take Matt Leinart with 4th pick in 2006. Jets got Mangold in same round (29th pick)
That stat is more than impressive. It is incredible. I would put that well above ripken
White Bus except many of them in the NFL know nothing other than playing football. You still have to do something for the next 30-35 yrs of your life. There can only be so many ESPN broadcasters
I can see a lineman leaving before most others. OL and WR get the most injuries statistically. OL get rolled up on from behind a lot. A guy from my nigh school was All Pro OL. Since retiring he's had over 20 operations and can only sleep 4 hours at a time. He doesn't regret playing in NFL but he says he should have played "less reckless".
Interesting take . Many a games and championships have been determined by the kicking game . It doesn't say much about the sport if a victor is crowned based on what a 'not real football player ' does .
They aren't the every down players that will need to retire because they don't get hit. And if you hit them there is a flag thrown. So no not real players.
It is also important to get out while you are healthy. Like you said there is a lot of time left in the players life.
Lol really! Cmon white bus what's an every down player ? A quarterback doesn't even play every down, doesn't play defense or special teams .
PSbeing PS- you have an OL who missed only one snap in a 11 year career. In a position that has 70-80 snaps per game in the toughest position on the field and maybe all of sports...and he wants to argue punters and kickers.
