Hating on Matt Patricia is nothing new in the Detroit Lions' sphere, but here's a new one. Former Detroit Lions RB Kerryon Johnson is the latest player to come out against Patricia. He recently made some harsh comments about the coach's time in the Motor City.
Johnson played under Patricia from 2018-2020. During that time, he carried the ball 283 times for 1,225 yards and eight touchdowns. That's impressive. But, it cost him. Now, Johnson is tweeting about how his time with the Lions and working under Patricia, he says, cost him in career-ending injuries.
Johnson is currently a free agent. When asked about by a fan why he hasn't come back to playing, he said, "Because playing for a military general left me down 2 knees and a neck." Wow. The tweet has since gone viral, and people seem to be siding with Johnson. Check it out below.
