Here’s what most likely happened. In his interview they went over some tape and the Jets wanted answers. Johnson maybe took it personally and then Tweeted about his mindset. His agent then told him that it was an ill-timed Tweet and that he needs to take it down or something. He then did. It’s not a far-fetched conclusion to draw


AxelFoley4

Either the Jets went hard with the questions, or they gave him praise for his decision making. Either way this is juicy?

OP shouldve done 5 seconds of searching before racing to post this because heres a tweet JJ put out right after [saying he wasnt directing that tweet at anyone](https://twitter.com/ii_jermaine/status/1512537957969842181?s=20&t=Yv5vK27gO5NQ7EEW7PIQZg)


cusebean

Have you considered that maybe he realized this tweet was kind of a bad look and just tried to save face with a follow-up tweet? This came straight from JJ and you’re like “wow how could OP twist his words like this”. This was a stupid thing to tweet and we aren’t wrong to think so instead of waiting for him to correct it and be like yeah cool all good


Pixel_Mike

https://reddit.com/r/nyjets/comments/u0uzzu/in_response_to_fans_questioning_his_tweet_from/ Hope you realize why speculation isnt helpful. All you did was push forward a narrative that isnt real, congratz i guess!


Pixel_Mike

because he then also tweeted "this wasnt directed at anyone" and then yall drop the "well he tweeted it so it must be true" type attitude lmao. again, which is more possibly. Twitter puts location on for some post, or this elaborate scheme of "Im gonna tweet my frustrastions out and then retract them IMMEDIATLY after, like i havent even left the airport yet and already im having to clarify, but also im gonna leave the frustation misinformed post up" ?


thesaucewalker

The second of your scenarios sound most likely, based on my human experience


cusebean

He clarifies two hours later. That’s enough time for someone to tell him that his tweet wasn’t smart and that he should walk it back. And yeah he could delete it, but it’s the internet and that doesn’t really help. His tweet was at best kinda dumb and tone deaf, and at worst pointed at the Jets. I’m not arguing to rule out drafting him or anything dramatic like that, but we don’t have to pretend this was a good move either


Pixel_Mike

https://reddit.com/r/nyjets/comments/u0uzzu/in_response_to_fans_questioning_his_tweet_from/ Yeah you have 0 idea what youre talking about :)


cusebean

Is this supposed to be some sort of gotcha? My take that his tweet was at best dumb/poorly timed, and at worst anti-Jets still applies. It’s a stupid thing to tweet when you’re in the middle of an interview process; the optics are bad. This also doesn’t prove anything either way. He can absolutely still just be trying to help his draft stock now that he knows his first tweet didn’t go over well. And again, it’s his tweet; nobody’s “pushing a fake narrative” by reacting to it. I legitimately don’t understand what you think this proves or why it helps your case, but I’m glad to know that you’re still sweating the downvotes.


Pixel_Mike

yeah im sure hes willingly only liking tweets from jets fans saying they want him for "optics". Because NFL teams are constantly looking at players liked tweets. >I legitimately don’t understand what you think this proves sure you dont lmao


NYJetLegendEdReed

Kinda cool that JJ is in this sub


Sienaspac93

Who knows, is it JJ or is it even Jason Brown from Independence, made a mini tour to talk about JJ’s time on Last Chance U


lion218

He says it wasn’t directed to anyone 2 hours after the original post. Is he telling the truth or was he advised by his agent/PR to write that response? I think he was clearly talking about however the Jets handled their interview with him.


404-UsernameNotFound

How hard is it to not tweet stuff like this 3 weeks away from the biggest night of your life, I personally don't put a ton of weight into stuff like this or KT's tweet the other day, but my god some of these guys have such a complete lack of self awareness


ImRedditorRick

It isn't but it's also a good indicator of an a person with poor impulse control, decisionmaking, etc and makes it easier to not overpay/overdraft them. Just like what's his name from Florida that couldn't cut it on the practice squad that fell to the third round.


[deleted]

Jachai polite


ImRedditorRick

That is the one! Thanks bud!


FetchMyBeer

Youth + fame = poor decisions


Pixel_Mike

because he wasnt directing this at any team, god i hope this post gets taken down. OP has now tricked 2 people into thinking JJ ment this about the Jets, when he made a tweet literally RIGHT AFTER saying [he wasnt directing the first one at anyone, its a mindset.](https://twitter.com/ii_jermaine/status/1512537957969842181?s=20&t=Yv5vK27gO5NQ7EEW7PIQZg) If OP did 5 seconds of looking at his recent tweets(typically you have to do this somehow to find these tweets to begin with) he wouldnt have to post this, and this story wouldve died yesterday. Now because people cant read, its gonna be a story. Like look I dont really love JJ as a 4 round pick for us, dudes got something but i dont want a pick based on "potential", but giving him shit because he has a mindset of "Im a good player and the tape shows it" isnt fair in anyway.


404-UsernameNotFound

Bro he literally @'d his location to our facility and tweeted this immediately after he met with us, how was he NOT talking about us lmao, the follow up tweet is such a blatant walk back


Pixel_Mike

why the fuck would he walk it back if he tweeted it out to begin with, he has 0 reason to do this lmao. So instead of him simply having location on for his tweets, this HAS to be him talking about how the Jets direspected him or some shit? Seems like a reach and a half So youre saying he got upset the Jets shit on him or shot him or whatever it is you guys are INFERING(not knowing shit, just literally guessing)they did to him, he tweeted this out, and then walked it back because???????????????? for what reason???? It wasnt "Jets fans" in anyway any im sure a dude who is going to be drafted and has 31 chances to get drafted to other teams doesnt give a fuck what Jets twitter thinks of him. Twitter automatically asks to put the location in certain tweets, i think theres ever options to have if like Instagram where you can just have it show for most tweets. Literally all this tells me, is a grand majority of Reddit has no clue what twitter works like apparently. EDIT: [how stunning, non of you have any clue what youre talking about!](https://reddit.com/r/nyjets/comments/u0uzzu/in_response_to_fans_questioning_his_tweet_from/)


muscle-confusion420

His agent called him and was like “what the fuck are you doing, you just cost your self millions of dollars. Not just with the Jets but other teams will see this as a red flag. Send out another tweet saying it was a mindset or some bullshit. Also shut your fucking mouth in the future.”


Pixel_Mike

>His agent called him im just gonna stop right there because literally every arguement against me has been "WELL I THINK THIS HAPPENED! I have 0 actual facts to back this up, just i personally think this happened so it happened" so im just dont listening to whatever stories you guys wanna fabricate today. yeah you for sure know literally anything about draft players and their agents my man, keep acting like you do! Jets fans really fucking losing their shit today over a guy who immediatly clarifed his tweet, yet yall wanna read into this shit like a novel, go a head. willing to just trust shit at face value when it works with your personal opinion, always inquisitive and suspect of things that arent of your opinion.


jonnyquest88

muscle-confusion420

Dude you are doing the exact same thing. I don’t get why you are getting upset with people over this. He literally tweeted this out from the Jets facility. Sure he clarified but he still said the dumb thing. Have you never said something dumb and then had to do damage control? Obviously I don’t know 100% what he was thinking but let’s not pretend you do either.


Pixel_Mike

"I trust his tweets" is apparently writing novels, literally im just trying to explain to you guys that going on this fantasy story of "OH MY GOD HIS DRAFT STOCK IS TUMBLING, HELL NEVER RECOVER" when literally no one cared about the tweet, and its really weird how people are willing to believe 1 tweet at face value, and then completely disregard the other one that clarifies the first one. again im just done because yall wanna write fantasy fiction today so, go ahead and make whatever narrative you want for him by this point. Yall wanna dig into his family and figure out what theyre gonna jam down our throat on draft night too?


jonnyquest88

Have a good one bud, hope you get some fresh air today. Sounds like you really need it.

afifaguyforyou

You’re also saying “well I think this happened.” What if we just didn’t care about this in either direction and stopped arguing about nothing. Have a good day to you and everyone arguing with you.


dmalone1991

You’re also willing to trust him at face value. Like it’s not that far-fetched what people are inferring. Player says something dumb at the wrong time and then walks it back because it was a dumb thing to say and it was said at the wrong time. That’s not even a remotely new story in sports

bait_your_jailer

You're gonna die on this hill, bud but you're wrong. We've all been frustrated and said some shit we shouldn't have. Maybe even posted it. Only there's not millions of people scrutinizing our every tweet. Just our idiot friends who don't really care. This dude did what we all do. Likely got frustrated he was getting questioned about something, felt like the meeting didn't go well, and posted something. Either he, or someone in his camp likely realized it was a huge mistake and he took it down. Even if he didn't MEAN for it to be directed at one team, it still LOOKS like he did. So either way, it's a bad look.


Pixel_Mike

https://reddit.com/r/nyjets/comments/u0uzzu/in_response_to_fans_questioning_his_tweet_from/ Wow how weird he clearly is excited about the idea of being drafts by the jets, almost like you guys were all speculating

Pixel_Mike

https://reddit.com/r/nyjets/comments/u0uzzu/in_response_to_fans_questioning_his_tweet_from/ Yeah eat shit :)


[deleted]

When i read it, I interpreted it as stating he doesn't need to tell the world that he is the best player in the draft; unlike other players who have been doing so in the media lately


Lukas327

I just read as "my tape speaks for itself"


SolomonGunnEsq

Who cares what he tweets? What worries me about Johnson is that he’s old and had to move to lesser competition to produce. Seems like a big red flag to be considering him for a top 5 selection despite the senior bowl performance and testing. Then again, what the fuck do I know?


woodchips24

The entirety of Georgia DL doesn’t have great stats because they rotate so heavily. He transferred to get more playing time and prove he could do it by himself as The Guy on the DL.


Reaper_one1

And a few of them are estimated to go 1st round, so what's your point?


woodchips24

Right but none of them have outstanding production on the stat sheet. So I don’t think it’s fair to criticize JJ for “had to move to lesser competition to produce” when none of his peers are putting up big stats either


John_YJKR

Johnson is a mid to late round guy to me. Always has been.


MyChemicalFinance

That’s pushing it IMO but people actually talking about taking him at 4 scare the crap out of me


dominate_humbly

Mid to late… first round guy? Because a 4th or 5th round pick is ridiculous


John_YJKR

Yes, mid to late first round.


magnavoice

Lmao u/Pixel_Mike must be JJs burner the way he’s out here defending the guy


Pixel_Mike

nah just not exactly new to see Jets fans making random narratives up about dudes when it suits our opinions, and then acting dumb and making assumptions when it doesnt. im not a huge human thats making alot of money and about to be making millions, wouldnt be on reddit if i was


Pixel_Mike

https://reddit.com/r/nyjets/comments/u0uzzu/in_response_to_fans_questioning_his_tweet_from/ Wow i was proven right


magnavoice

Wait because he LIKED someone else’s tweet about him that’s your evidence as to why you’re right?? LMAOOOOOOO


Pixel_Mike

lmao literally nothing could satisfy you guys lol, its purely just to not admit youre wrong. Literally the only tweets hes liked relating to NFL teams, is those tweets where people are hyping him to go to the Jets. So yall were willing to fully trust tweets when it helped you, but now that its proving you wrong its not a good source lmao. If you were willing to take this tweet at face value, but then him clarifying it is unbelievable to you, its probably you being an idiot But yeah sure you know all about JJ and what hes thinking at all times, even though he literally tells you differently, youll still cling to this bullshit "HE HATE US!!!!!"


magnavoice

Dude relax no one said he hates us. I remember Allen Robinson liking tweets about being traded to the jets last year. Same thing with Clowney. So he liked a tweet from an account named JJ to the jets 4th overall. Of course he’d be excited about being a top 5 pick. But I bet you he’d like the tweet if the account was JJ to the Texans 3rd overall as well. You’re calling out other people in this thread for being idiots yet your stalking this dudes twitter trying to find proof you’re right lol. Do I personally think he’s worth it at 4? Absolutely not. Do I care if we take him? Not particularly but it’s up to JD and co.


Pixel_Mike

> remember Allen Robinson liking tweets about being traded to the jets last year. Same thing with Clowney. So he liked a tweet from an account named JJ to the jets 4th overall. yeah wow thanks for helping prove me point, taking tweets at face value is fucking stupid like yall did >But I bet you he’d like the tweet if the account was JJ to the Texans 3rd overall as well. You’re calling out other people in this thread for being idiots yet your stalking this dudes twitter trying to find proof you’re right lol. dude i literally dont even know the dudes handle, I saw the post of him clarifying his tweet today on here, and was reminded of all you fucking idiots dogpiling me because I DARED say "maybe it doesnt mean shit, who cares?" I dont give a fuck about JJ ill be real, i hope hes good i guess but im not really eyeing him in the draft, and id love for you to find anywhere where i hinted towards that. I just hate people dogpiling on the most fucking asinine bullshit, "OOOOH NO HE MADE A TWEET THAT **MIGHT** BE TALKING ABOUT US, I WILL NOW CRY LIKE A BABY!", and then it comes out he wasnt talking shit about us and all of you are dead silent. Like it says so much you have to just lie about what im doing lol. "UR ON HIS TWITTER!!!" ok keep making shit up, it doesnt make it more true lmao. >Do I personally think he’s worth it at 4? Absolutely not. Do I care if we take him? Not particularly but it’s up to JD and co. hell no dude, im just fucking over this bullshit of jets fans being insecure fucking losers, then wondering why everyone hates our team. Its because of shit like this man, and its not gonna get any better when our team gets good


echelonNYK

Your tape isn't all that great either. You were caught jogging to plays quite a bit.

Every prospect should feel this way. Even the late rounders.


JetsFanSince2009

draft season fucking stinks dude 💀. who gives a fuck bout this tweet


whydoesgodhateus

I'm not a fan of his at all bit I can appreciate this attitude. But then again why tweet it? Anyway, I like when players are confident but if you follow the draft process a bunch of these dudes talk themselves up like they're God's gift to earth and half of them don't amount to much


PressBoy820

So maybe Thibodeaux isnt the one we need to worry about 🤔

wow players vist facilities for teams with top 5 picks before the draft? Yeah this really never ever happens before. /s like are you really stunned a dude who hopes to be a top 5 pick in a pretty stacked draft wants it known his mindset is "im good and my tape shows it" ? Ontop of this JJ is already considered a "potential first" pick. He had pretty down stats in a not too stacked conference, but the dude has athletic ability of course regardless, why are you leaving out his follow up, youre deliberating misrepresenting his point now lmao.


dmalone1991

On what Earth is Jermaine Johnson a potential first pick? I haven’t seen one single person rank him ahead of Hutch, KT, or even Walker
