Pace was originally selected with the 18th overall pick in the first round of the 2003 NFL Draft by the Arizona Cardinals. The former Wake Forest Demon Deacons’ star spent the first five years of his career in Arizona before joining the Jets.
Pace has been a good player for the Jets and actually set a career-high with 10 sacks in 2013. He also had 57 tackles and two forced fumbles.
He has 52.0 sacks in his career.
