"In scouting, you have to have a global view of the entire
team," he says. "You have to know all of the positions and
how they all fit together. That was all foreign to me. I had to
learn a lot once I got here."
The pair share an easy rapport, mingling work and family
life. Both are fathers. And, coincidentally, Nejmeh's wife,
Melissa, rode the bus to high school with Zbojovsky and
Kelly Pugh, who would become Zbojovsky's wife.
Who's higher on the Jets org chart? "Dan's above me,"
says Nejmeh, with a sly smile.
"That's not true," says Zbojovsky.
The hierarchy is irrelevant. What matters is the shared
desire to contribute to an NFL championship for the Jets,
something not seen since the days of Joe Namath in 1969.
"Obviously, the focus is to win games and be successful
on the field," says Zbojovsky. Winning the Super Bowl
"would be an incredible experience and achievement for all
of us," he says.
"Doing our job to the best of our ability is the one thing we
control," says Nejmeh. "If everybody does that, hopefully
we'll get to the pinnacle of what we're all trying to reach."
