Joe McKnight’s rough introduction to the NFL continues

Jets rookie running back Joe McKnight will never get another chance to make a first impression in the NFL, and his first impression included him vomiting and cramping throughout rookie minicamp.

McKnight talked this summer about wanting to change his public perception, but now he’s got a rough second impression to overcome.

The Jets announced on Thursday that McKnight failed his conditioning test to open training camp Thursday, and was placed on the active/PUP list. We’re used to seeing defensive tackles like Terrence Cody fail the test, but it’s rare to see a rookie running backs so out of shape.

We give Jets fans about two games before they really start missing Leon Washington.
