The NFL received sad news on Sunday morning of the passing of former New York Jets All-Pro center Nick Mangold at age 41, after a battle with kidney disease.
Mangold played all 11 of his NFL seasons with the Jets and was a two-time first-team All-Pro and seven-time Pro Bowl selection. He was a model of reliability during his career for the Jets, playing fewer than 14 games just once, which was his final season of 2016.

Mangold was a first-round pick for the Jets in 2006 as the 29th overall pick. He was a day one starter in the NFL and did not miss a start in his first five years in the league.
