Head coach Aaron Glenn remembers Nick Mangold | JQJO

A Jets celebration in Cincinnati ended a day that began on a somber note. Longtime center Nick Mangold died at 41 after battling kidney disease, and head coach Aaron Glenn opened his postgame remarks by remembering him as “the heart and soul of the team.” Glenn, who scouted during Mangold’s 11 Jets seasons, offered prayers to Mangold’s family and called him “a true Jet.” Mangold, a two-time All-Pro and member of the team’s Ring of Honor, will likely be honored further when the Jets return home after their Week 9 bye.
