Selv om jeg har vidst at det ville komme, så er det en trist dag i dag. WR Wayne Chrebet indstiller officielt karrieren ved et pressemøde i Weeb Eubank Hall i morgen. Og hvilken karriere det har været! Chrebet er nemlig historien om "the local kid" der fik chancen som undrafted free agent og vandt fans'nes hjerter. Der er med andre ord lagt op til et følelsesladet farvel i morgen.“There are a lot of people I want to thank. Some people don’t know I’m retiring; some people have assumed it already happened. I think it’s the right time to finally thank the right people: the fans, my teammates, and people who were with me for the ride. Just letting the emotions flow will make it easy”.
Chrebet har i hvertfald helt særligt sted i denne Jetfans hjerte. Hvorfor opsummeres her af Rich Cimini Daily News:
"Chrebet suffered a career-ending concussion last Nov. 6, when he was knocked cold on a difficult third-down pass against the Chargers. Somehow, he held onto the ball, a play that exemplified the great hands and toughness that made him a premier possession receiver. It was at least the ninth concussion of his career. He was so dazed after the game that he needed the help of a trainer to take off his uniform".
Og ingen steder bedre end her på Jets officielle hjemmeside:
"He epitomized all that is good in sports by working and sacrificing and by playing with such heart".
Wayne Chrebet spillede 11 sæsoner for New York Jets og greb i alt 580 bolde for 7365 og 41 TDs.
Tak for alt Wayne... og held og lykke fremover!
