The retired New York Jets center died at the age of 41 due to complications from kidney disease. And on the Wednesday, Oct. 29, episode of his and brother Travis Kelce ’s New Heights podcast, Jason, 37, took the opportunity to praise Mangold.

"Both had major impacts on this program," Day said. "We're praying for their families and want to let those families know we’re all thinking about them." Mangold, 41, passed away Oct. 25 due to complications from kidney disease.

Former NFL star Nick Mangold was a dedicated family man before his sudden death on October 25 from complications of kidney disease. He was 41. Just a few weeks prior to his untimely death, Mangold shared with fans that he was in need of a kidney transplant and his health was dire.

Bart Scott claims that there was a 'plan in place' for ex-teammate Nick Mangold to overcome his battle with kidney disease.

New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn honors Nick Mangold in an emotional postgame speech after their first win.

As the scoreboard flipped to the fourth quarter on Sunday, with the Jets down 15 points to the Bengals, it should have been game over. The Jets’ offense had scored a grand total of 17 points in their last two games.
