The NFL world is in mourning, as New York Jets legendary center Nick Mangold died Saturday night due to complications from kidney disease.

The team’s Ring of Honor member, who spent all 11 of his NFL seasons with New York, was just 41 years old.

Rex Ryan, who coached Mangold for six of those seasons, was heartbroken while serving his duties on ESPN’s “Sunday NFL Countdown.”

“It’s brutal. Such a great young man,” Ryan, choking back tears, said on the panel.

Mangold was a fan-favorite as well as a beloved member of the Jets in the locker room, respected by his teammates and coaches since he was drafted 29th overall in the 2006 class out of Ohio State.
