Who Leads the Jets in Tackles?

Do you know?  You may be surprised.  It has to be David Harris, right?  No.  This thread from the JetNation forums pointed out the leader and I thought it was worth sharing.  Mainly because I was surprised it wasn’t David Harris.  It isn’t Bart Scott either, but he does so much grunt work that he really shouldn’t be leading the team in tackles.

Safety Eric Smith leads the New York Jets in tackles.  Here are the top 10 tacklers on the NY Jets so far this season:

Player Comb Total Assist Sck Fumb
Eric Smith 44 32 12 1.5 0
Bart Scott 36 28 8 2.5 1
David Harris 36 26 10 2.0 0
Calvin Pace 33 24 9 3.0 2
Jim Leonhard 27 22 5 0.0 1

I started JetNation in 2005 and have been a New York Jets season ticket holder since graduating from high school. My dream is to see the New York Jets win the Super Bowl. Until then, I will be right here on JetNation writing, dreaming and talking NY Jets football.
