Knapp had a long and distinguished career as an NFL assistant coach. He worked with the 49ers, Falcons, Raiders, Seahawks, Texans, and Broncos organization winning a Super Bowl ring as Denver’s quarterbacks coach in 2015. He joined the Jets in January as a pass game specialist after the hiring of Robert Saleh as head coach.
