The list of former Jets now in the Pro Football Hall of Fame may have the deepest list of cameos of any team in the NFL. Ty Law? Brett Favre? Ed Reed! LaDainian Tomlinson! Everyone remembers the Jason Taylor Jets era fondly.

There are plenty of deserving names that didn't come to the Jets for one last victory lap, but those names aren't as fun as the ones who did. Here's the full list.

As for the next wave of Jets players to get enshrined in Canton, here are a few names to keep an eye on over the next half decade or so.

Aaron Rodgers

Maybe the best cameo appearance of all? Rodgers is a first-ballot guy, and is apparently destined to mimic Favre's career in every single way possible. The stats and accolades speak for themself, and if Rodgers happens to play more than four snaps for the Jets this season, all the better. Some day in the near future, he'll be up at that podium giving his speech and may even mention a Jets teammate or two. What a win for the organization.

Sauce Gardner

No one should take a Hall of Fame prediction seriously when the guy's only been in the league for two years, so take this for what it's worth. BUT! Gardner's first two seasons – accolades-wise, at least – are as good a start as you could ask for. The "most overrated player in the NFL" has, through two seasons, started all 33 games he's played in. In that time he's won Defensive Rookie of the Year, gone to the Pro Bowl twice, and made First Team All Pro both seasons. He hasn't been much of a turnover guy yet, but his coverage numbers are great (even if he holds sometimes) and his durability, so far, has been all you can ask for. Let's circle back in 10 years.

Frank Gore

Another wonderful cameo to add to the list. Gore spent the very last of his 16-year career with the Jets, but don't let that stop you from taking credit. He finished with *exactly* 16,000 rushing yards, which is aesthetically pleasing at the very least. According to Pro Football Reference, Gore's Hall of Fame monitor (100) is just shy of the average NFL HOF running back (106), but his longevity feels impressive enough to get him in after a few years on the ballot. Holding the NFL record for most games played by a running back isn't nothing, and hopefully the entire picture will help overcome what is, objectively, a lack of normal HOF accolades.
