"Joe McKnight: McDonald's reason I gained 16 pounds
New York Jets running back Joe McKnight's introduction to the NFL was
not a pretty one. He threw up and cramped up throughout his rookie
minicamp in 2010.
It didn't get much better when he failed the team's conditioning test at
training camp later that summer and was the subject of a lot of grousing
by Jets coaches during that season's edition of HBO's "Hard Knocks".
It appeared that McKnight matured in his second season. He certainly was
a bigger factor on the field -- especially kick returns. Now McKnight is
simply just bigger.
McKnight told the New York Daily News he gained 16 pounds this offseason
by eating a "lot of McDonald's." The Super Size Me diet apparently
doesn't work well for NFL players.
"I was eating healthy, but the majority of time I was eating bad. I
wasn't eating all the right stuff. ... Like Tim Tebow," McKnight said.
It's nice to see that Tebow is already providing a nutritional beacon of
hope for guys like McKnight. Meanwhile, the Jets might want to think
about getting more running back depth behind Shonn Greene."
Am I the only one that thinks he will wind up a draft bust? Given what
happened his first season with conditioning I am really surprised by
this. Mcknight is a NFL running back and needs nutritional information
from Tebow. Good grief, high school kids playing football know
McDonalds isn't good for you.
