Woody Johnson almost brought down during training

Woody Johnson’s Instagram account is known for posting about the Jets rather than himself. And after the recent acquisition of Aaron Rodgers, he has been posting a lot of shots of their newly acquired Super Bowl-winning QB. Amidst posting about the 39-year-old QB, Johnson also recently shared a clip of the OTAs that involved him as well as 2022 Rookie Offensive Player of the Year Garrett Wilson.

In the clip, we see the 22-year-old wide receiver rushing down the field to grab a pass, As he manages to grab the ball, he comes in contact with a cone, making him lose his balance. As he falls, he nearly takes Woody Johnson along with him too, as he was watching the training from the sidelines. In what is a very close call, Johnson managed to move to the side to let Wilson recover from his fall. Johnson captioned the video, “Had to thank Garrett Wilson for not taking me out there” while tagging the WR in the caption.
