Jets HC Robert Saleh addresses Greg Knapp death Tuesday

Following a bike crash that led Greg Knapp to be hospitalized and in critical condition, the Jets pass game specialist passed away last Thursday. Knapp was 58 years old and widely respected throughout the NFL, having worked with seven different teams from 1995-2021.

The Jets begin training camp in Florham Park this week without Knapp, whom they had just hired this offseason. While speaking with the media Tuesday, head coach Robert Saleh addressed the horrific situation.

“It’s an absolute tragedy,” Saleh said, per Ethan Greenberg of the team’s official website.
