Former New York Jets All-Pro center Nick Mangold died at the age of 41 due to complications of kidney disease, the team announced on Sunday.

Mangold died on Saturday night after battling chronic kidney disease for nearly 19 years and was undergoing dialysis.

“Nick was more than a legendary center,” Jets Chairman Woody Johnson said in a statement. “He was the heartbeat of our offensive line for a decade and a beloved teammate whose leadership and toughness defined an era of Jets football. Off the field, Nick’s wit, warmth, and unwavering loyalty made him a cherished member of our extended Jets family.”

The news came ahead of the Jets’ game against the Bengals in Cincinnati, where the team picked up their first win of the season in come-from-behind fashion.
