I'm an idiot. I knew the Jets drafted Nugent in the second round, and thought you forgot about him. Meant to email and point it out. Didn't say him because I thought the picture wasn't him, and you just wanted to know who was pictured. Oh well, my next option was Martin Gramattica, also incorrect.

Re: NFL Swampcrash 2023 - Week 8
NOTE: If I had just asked for what the instrument was instead of pinning it to a specfic song, I might have accepted xylophone for glockenspiel. But one is wood and the other is metal and they definitely sound different.
