Longtime Jets center Kevin Mawae didn’t make the Pro Football Hall of Fame last year, but he will get another crack at it this year.

Mawae was named as a semifinalist for the Hall of Fame for the second consecutive year. Mawae isn’t the only player on the list that has connections to Gang Green, though as he is joined by Alan Faneca, Ty Law, Steve Atwater and Ed Reed.

Of those five, Mawae was with the Jets for the longest period of time and is the only one who will be best remembered for his time in New York. He was with the Jets from 1998-2005 and had some tremendous seasons in Green and White. He was a Pro Bowler in six of those eight seasons and was First-Team All-Pro twice.

The next step for Mawae and the rest of the ex-Jets will be to make the cut as a finalist. The Selection Committee has to trim the list down to 15 on Jan. 3 and then that number keeps going down until they get to five inductees. To be inducted, one needs 80 percent of the committee to say yes.

The Hall of Fame Class of 2019 will be announced on Feb. 2, 2019 in Atlanta during the NFL Honors Show.
