The NFL world has been shaken to its core after the sudden and tragic passing of Nick Mangold, the beloved former New York Jets legend and seven-time Pro Bowler. But what’s truly breaking hearts across the league isn’t just the loss itself — it’s the gut-wrenching revelation shared by a Pittsburgh Steelers player, who claimed that Mangold had recently spoken about his struggles with his health, including asking for help finding a new kidney just a week before his passing.

According to team insiders, Mangold had been keeping his condition private, focusing instead on community work and mentoring young players. The Steelers player, whose identity has not been officially confirmed, said in a postgame interview, “He was just asking for a new kidney last week, man. We thought he was joking, like Nick always did — smiling, cracking jokes even when things were tough. None of us realized how bad it really was.”

The revelation has left fans and fellow players stunned and heartbroken, prompting an outpouring of love and tributes across social media. From Tom Brady to Patrick Mahomes, NFL stars have taken to X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram to share memories of the man who redefined what it meant to be a leader — both on and off the field.

Mangold, known for his grit, humility, and humor, was widely considered one of the best centers in modern NFL history. His legacy with the Jets remains untouchable — a cornerstone of the offensive line and a symbol of New York toughness. But off the field, he was even more admired for his kindness and authenticity.

Jets owner Woody Johnson released a statement: “Nick was the heart of our team for years. His leadership, laughter, and loyalty shaped an entire generation of players.”

As tributes continue to pour in, fans have been gathering outside MetLife Stadium, leaving flowers, jerseys, and handwritten notes under a banner that reads “Forever 74.”

While official reports surrounding Mangold’s cause of death remain unconfirmed, one thing is certain — his spirit, humor, and humanity will never be forgotten.

💔 Rest easy, Nick Mangold.
You gave everything to the game — and even more to the people who loved you.
