NY Jets Legend Nick Mangold Passes Away At 41


Former NFL offensive lineman Nick Mangold has passed away at 41.

On Sunday morning, the NY Jets announced the passing of Mangold, who had been dealing with kidney disease.

“Nick was more than a legendary center,” said Jets Chairman Woody Johnson. “He was the heartbeat of our offensive line for a decade and a beloved teammate whose leadership and toughness defined an era of Jets football. Off the field, Nick’s wit, warmth, and unwavering loyalty made him a cherished member of our extended Jets family.”

Mangold has spoken about his health issues in recent months and was looking for a kidney donor.

“In 2006, I was diagnosed with a genetic defect that has led to chronic kidney disease,” Mangold wrote in his letter addressed to “My NY Jets community.” “I’m undergoing dialysis as we look for a kidney transplant. I always knew this day would come, but I thought I would have more time.”

CBS paid tribute to Mangold before Sunday’s NFL games.
