Four days ago, RB Joe McKnight was released by the New York Jets. He was a fourth-round pick in 2010 and has two kick-return touchdowns in his career. As a part-time running back, he has 502 rushing yards and 17 receptions. With the Jets roster at RB in question, he was set to make the team until he was unable to perform.
It seemed as if McKnight had a new team as he waited to get picked up by an NFL team. His new team now seems to be Twitter before the Green Bay Packers picked him up. Remember Jets/Packers fans, McKnight is on team Twitter, and here are his rants:
THEY NEED TAKE ESPN OF THE TV CUZ THEY HAVE NO IDEA OF WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT. HOW DUMB YOU SOUND FOOTBALL IS A GAME OF CAT AND MOUSE

If you want to know about football don’t watch ESPN just watch NFL NETWORK

ESPN JUST SHOULD HAVE ALL ATHLETES CUZ THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT.

ESPN NEED TO THINK MARK CUZ IT’S CLEARLY THE BUTT FUMBLE IS KEEPING THEM RELEVANT
— JOE MCKNIGHT (@Joejetlife) August 30, 2013
Can’t wait too see MARK BALL OUT
— JOE MCKNIGHT (@Joejetlife) August 30, 2013
It seems as if McKnight has declared war on ESPN and declared his loyalty to the NFL Network and his former teammate Mark Sanchez. After rants like this on social media, would any NFL team really want a running back that is only good as a punt returner?
