Talking About the Playoffs

NFL players chase the dream of winning a Super Bowl ring. Some never get a chance to play in the big game.

The New York Jets have four players with interesting stories lead by Tony Richardson who at the age of 39 has played 16 seasons and 234 games. He has been to the playoffs five times, but never to the big one.

Shaun Ellis at 33 is the longest tenured Jet with 11 seasons and 156 games. He made it to the AFC Championship game twice in losing scenarios and has four attempts at the playoffs.

LaDainian Tomlinson has played 10 seasons and 166 games, carrying the ball 3,099 times for 13,404 yards. He has five seasons of playoff experience.

Jason Taylor at 35 has played for 14 seasons and 217 games. He has not been to the playoffs since 2001.

This scenario is typical of most NFL teams. Even the great Barry Sanders only played in one playoff game during his stellar career.
