Keyshawn Johnson says he’ll go streaking if Aaron Glenn sticks with Aaron Rodgers
NY Post
Keyshawn Johnson’s bet on Aaron Glenn’s head coaching start comes with some serious skin in the game.
The ex-NFL wideout addressed his former Jets teammate’s hiring Thursday on FS1’s “Speak,” saying he expects massive changes coming with one of the franchises biggest stars among them.
“He will not start off his career — now I said this first, nobody else is saying this — he will not start off his career with Aaron Rodgers as his quarterback in September,” Johnson said, before laying it all on the line.
“If he does, then I’m walking from Calabasas at 4 a.m. in the morning, to the studio, with nothing on but boxers. So I’m saying this with a lot of confidence. … I’m just letting you know, he ain’t going to start his career with that mess. It’s not going to happen. He’s not going to allow somebody to tell him what he’s doing as a coach.”
Glenn returns to Gang Green as a first-time head coach after an exhaustive search led the franchise to its former cornerback.
That solved one of the myriad problems facing to team in a critical offseason, with a new general manager still on the checklist — and the status of Rodgers, with the longtime QB openly pontificating his future after a train wreck of a 2024 season.
This was near the end of a magnificent American life, and he’d been battling lung and prostate cancer for some time, but Pee Wee Reese was absolutely going to get in the car and make the drive from Louisville to Kansas City. The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum was honoring his dear friend Jackie Robinson, and Reese knew that meant seeing so many friends from the old days.
The pity is, at this point, the greatness we are watching in real time is threatened every week to be reduced to a footnote. We are witnesses to history, to the rarest form of extended success in a time of professional sport that’s supposed to be ruled by parity. But every year we have to deal with something else first.
