ABSTRACT:

To properly illustrate what makes Wayne Chrebet tick it’s first necessary to clear up a few things that don’t rule his life, consume his mind or define his existence.

Money. Fame. Status. Touchdowns. Pro Bowl appearances. Adulation. Book sales.

Keyshawn Johnson.

What Chrebet embodies – aside from being as much a symbol of perseverance in this resurrection of the Jets as they take the Giants Stadium field against the Jaguars today for the franchise’s first playoff game since 1991 and first home post-season game since 1986 – is honesty, had work and the fiercest loyalty to family and close friends that you’ll see from anyone you’ll ever meet.
