Jets Nation

Don Maynard originated the franchise's downfield identity during the high-scoring golden era of the American Football League.

He helped the team by consistently taking the top off opposing secondaries, creating a lethal vertical element that perfectly optimized Joe Namath's aggressive passing style.

Defensive backs routinely found it impossible to mirror his raw pacing when he uncoiled his routes deep down the sideline.

This relentless downfield efficiency enabled him to pile up exactly 88 regular-season touchdown catches over his legendary career in New York.

Holding onto this monumental scoring milestone for over half a century permanently secures his place at the unmatched zenith of the organization's record books. 🛩️🟢
