New York Jets: Where Are They Now? Victor Green

Victor Green was an excellent performer at safety during his time with the Jets in the 1990s.

For today’s installment of “Where are they now?”, we are going to the defensive backfield of the 1990’s. He was here through many of the lean years, and remained to see it turn around in the late 1990s, before leaving for New England in 2002. Many of you interact with him through Twitter at @VictorGreen21, but whether you do or you don’t, he created memories during his time with the Gang Green.

We are looking today at #21, safety Victor Green.

THEN

It actually fits to talk about Victor Green today, as we have been talking about the UDFAs, since Victor was an undrafted free agent himself. Out of the University of Akron, Victor signed on with the New York Jets as a UDFA, making his debut in 1993.

He cracked the starting lineup in 1995, starting every game except for four, from 1995-2001. Here are his career stats, from NFL.com

A particularly memorable game in Green’s career was week 4 of the 1999 season, when the Jets faced the Broncos in a rematch of the previous season’s AFC title game. He posted 2 picks that day, helping the Jets to a 21-13 win. In week 7 of the 2000 season, on the road in New England, Green again posted 2 INTs including a 21 yard pick six, aiding the Jets to a 34-17 win over their arch rivals.

Victor signed with the Jets in April of 2006 so he could return to where it all began, and end his career where it began, with the New York Jets. The Jets placed him on the four decade team.

NOW

These days, aside from interacting with us Jets’ fans as noted above, he is the a partner and owner of Class Act Sports.  These guys are unique in that they take the classy athletes and take a look at what they do off the field as well as on.  Green and his partner say it well enough, so I present you info right from their page:
