Poor guy, if it wasn't for the concussions, he's still be a decent WR. He was a guy that it was almost impossible to root against. The video of his last concussion last year was disturbing, the glazed, blank stare in his eyes. I wonder if he'll got into commentating, seeing as how his health forced him out of the game. I know I'd rather listen to him than Joe Buck, Tony Siragusa, Shannon Sharpe, Michael Irvin or John Madden.

Although, he put up much better numbers than Chris Walsh did. So, you could say he was more, at least at one point in his career.

Well at least he survived Jason Williams shooting at him.

Chrebet retires after 11 years with Jets
NFL.com wire reports
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (June 2, 2006)

"...He inspired me every day," running back Curtis Martin said. "I loved the way he played and how he never backed down from anything. He was an incredible teammate. He was a warrior, and I always felt you'd have to kill him to get the upper hand on him. If every player in the NFL had as much heart and desire as he had, football would be illegal."

It's sad to see 3rd-down Chrebet hang it up.
