Rough start for Joe McKnight
Posted by Michael David Smith on April 30, 2010 11:42 AM ET
A player's performance on the first morning of his first NFL minicamp probably isn't a very good predictor of what kind of career he's going to have. Which is good news for Jets rookie running back
Joe McKnight.
According to tweets from various reporters on the scene, McKnight's morning included
missing a pair of catchable balls, dropping a pass while
falling awkwardly and needing trainers to
work on both calves because of cramps.
And, to top it all off,
McKnight threw up on the field.
As we noted in
today's one-liners, McKnight has been encouraged to follow veteran running backs
LaDainian Tomlinson and
Shonn Greene around "until they shoo you away." By puking on the field, McKnight may have found a way to make Tomlinson and Greene shoo him away quickly.
