Statement from Christopher Johnson, Vice Chairman of the New York Jets
It is with profound sadness that we acknowledge the passing of Nick Mangold, a true legend of our franchise and a cherished member of the Jets family.
Nick was the embodiment of consistency, strength, and leadership. For over a decade, he anchored our offensive line with unmatched skill and determination, earning the respect of teammates, opponents, and fans alike. His contributions on the field were extraordinary—but it was his character, humility, and humor off the field that made him unforgettable.
Nick’s legacy is not only measured in Pro Bowls and accolades, but in the way he inspired those around him. He was a leader in every sense of the word, and his presence will be deeply missed.
On behalf of the entire organization, I extend our heartfelt condolences to Jenny and their children, as well as Nick’s entire family and loved ones.
Nick, my friend, we will all miss you.
