Congrats to Alan Faneca, who was selected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame on Saturday. He made it because of his stellar career with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but he made the Pro Bowl in each of his two seasons with the Jets (2008-09). He and Damien Woody arrived in 2008, galvanizing an offensive line that already included D'Brickashaw Ferguson, Nick Mangold and Brandon Moore. In 2009, the Jets rushed for an astounding 2,756 yards, the sixth-highest total in the league since 2001.
Former Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum, who signed Faneca to a record-breaking contract for a guard, recalled Faneca's "greatness and consistency" in terms of his preparation. He said Faneca, always the first to arrive at the stadium, had an elaborate pregame routine that included stretching and time in the hot tub. Tannenbaum said he believes Faneca's dedication rubbed off on the younger players.
Ex-Jets great Darrelle Revis is eligible for the Class of 2023.

Texans' Deshaun Watson with New York Jets? 'Oh, my God. Oh, my God.'
Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Irvin says Houston's quarterback is a "different kind of playmaker," and the Jets would flourish with "that talent."
