10. LARRY GRANTHAM
Linebacker, 1960-72
A mainstay of the Jets' Super Bowl III defense, Grantham was a five-time Pro Bowler and a five-time first-team All-Pro selection. An original member of the Titans, Grantham was a sure tackler and excellent in pass coverage, producing a combined 20 interceptions in his first eight seasons. Grantham, the Jets' MVP in 1971, was one of only 20 players who played in the AFL for its entire 10-year existence.
