Is this former NFL RB blaming Matt Patricia for career-ending injuries?

Former New England Patriots assistant coach Matt Patricia was the head coach for the Detroit Lions from 2018-2020. He made quite an impression while he was in the Motor City, and it wasn’t exactly the best one.

Former Detroit Lions running back Kerryon Johnson played under Patricia from 2018-2020 and performed well during that time. He carried the ball 283 times for 1,225 yards and eight touchdowns in that span.

Johnson is currently a free agent, after spending the 2021 season between the Philadelphia Eagles and San Francisco 49ers’ practice squad. He took to Twitter on Thursday to take a subtle shot at what seemed like Matt Patricia, when asked a question from a fan.
