Matching 32 Marvel Cinematic Universe characters with each NFL team

New York Jets – Korg
There aren’t as many as dedicated as New York Jets fans. They have the same kind of passion that the Eagles and Raiders’ have, just not as extreme. And, before there was Joe Burrow, there was “Broadway” Joe Namath. He was the guy dressing in high-fashion clothes. His fur coat is still a recognized NFL look.
Despite not having done anything major in any of his appearances, people love Korg. He just has a way about him. Maybe it’s because he’s a gentle giant. The Jets are kind of like that. Not the gentle part. They haven’t broken down any big barriers and they’re still beloved by their fans. It doesn’t matter where you are, if there’s a Jets game, you’ll hear, “J-E-T-S. JETS! JETS! JETS!” You could absolutely see Korg being a Jets fan. He’d look good in a green jersey too.
Giving the New York Jets Korg isn’t an insult. Korg is always going to be one of the more popular characters in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He doesn’t even need to fight in every movie. The Jets aren’t one of the league’s premier teams, but they’ll always have a fan base that will follow and cheer for them.
