History of The New York Jets

February 28, Neil Leads Parade
QB Neil O’Donnell, after leading Pittsburgh to four straight playoff appearances that included a berth in Super Bowl XXX, signed with the Jets as an unrestricted free agent. O'Donnell was one of a long line of veteran FAs that included OTs Jumbo Elliott and David Williams, WR Jeff Graham and QB Frank Reich to join the Jets in the off-season.

April 20, Key Draft Pick
For the first time in club history, the Jets had the first overall pick of the NFL Draft and selected Southern Cal All-America WR Keyshawn Johnson.

October 6, O'Donnell's Woes
O’Donnell suffered a shoulder injury in Game 6 against Oakland. After sitting out six games, the QB was preparing to return for Game 13 vs. Houston when he tore a calf muscle during pregame warmups (Dec. 1), which would sideline him the rest of the season.

November 24, Murrell Gets A Thou
With 103 rushing yards in a loss at Buffalo, RB Adrian Murrell reached 1,000 yards for the season and ultimately became only the third RB in NFL history to rush for 1,000 yards for a one-win team.

December 20, Kotite Steps Aside
Two days before the season finale against Miami, Rich Kotite stepped aside as head coach. The loss to the Dolphins dropped Kotite's two-season record to 4-28.
