New York Jets Assistant Coach Greg Knapp Dies

New York Jets and former Atlanta Falcons assistant coach, Greg Knapp, has died as a result of injuries sustained when he was hit by a vehicle while riding his bicycle this past weekend. He was only 58 years old.

Knapp was known for his expertise with quarterbacks and was only days away from flying to New Jersey to begin his first season as the Jets’ passing-game specialist under new coach Robert Saleh.

“Greg had such an inner peace about him that people always seemed to gravitate towards,” Saleh said in a statement. “He lived life in a loving way that helped him connect with people from all walks of life uniquely.”

“In his short time here, I believe the people in this organization had a chance to experience that connection,” Saleh’s statement read. “Greg, thank you for all that you have shared with us, you will be missed brother.”
