Gerry Philbin Funeral | Jets Legend, Super Bowl Champion Gerry Philbin Last Tribute Video 😭💔

Former Jets defensive end Gerry Philbin has died, the team announced Wednesday. He was 83.

The Pawtucket, R.I., native was the Jets’ third-round choice in the 1964 AFL draft out of the University of Buffalo.

"I really believe he should've been a Hall of Famer," teammate and linebacker Ralph Baker said. "He was just a good guy, a regular guy who worked hard and shared his feelings. When teammates needed to be set straight, Gerry was the guy to do it."

He also was a Detroit Lions third-round pick in the NFL draft. At 6-foot-2, 245 pounds, he went on to win a Super Bowl with Gang Green in 1969 when they defeated the Baltimore Colts 16-7.

Philbin played 110 games, including 106 starts, with the Jets over nine years.before leaving for one final NFL season with the Eagles in 1973.

He ended his playing career with the New York Stars in 1974 as part of the short-lived World Football League.

Thoughts and prayers are with the family and loved ones.

Rest in peace
