Son of Jets coach who ripped players on Twitter is no kid

Antonio Cromartie and Geno Smith (r.) are the targets of the son of a Jets coach - tight ends coach Jimmie Johnson - who mocks them on Twitter.

When tight ends coach Jimmie Johnson’s son, or at least the one presumed to be his son, took some shots at Geno Smith and Antonio Cromartie on Twitter, one might have imagined a silly teenager just making some poor social media decisions.

But if, indeed, the tweeter was the coach’s son, Jimmie Johnson, then it was a full-fledged adult ripping the Jets quarterback and cornerback.

Based on the Bryant University football team website, former tight end Jimmie Johnson, the son of the coach by the same name, would be 24 years old by now.
