Jets owner Woody Johnson released the following statement Monday night on the passing of NFL Films president Steve Sabol:

“Words cannot truly express what Steve Sabol has meant to this game. His legacy will not only be the exemplary work done by NFL Films, but the unwavering passion and dedication he devoted to the game he loved. We were fortunate enough to see firsthand how Steve turned his vision into something people enjoyed and brought out the best in everyone. This is a sad day for the entire NFL, but also one where we are given pause to reflect on a life full of accomplishment.”
