Joe Thomas says rookie David Njoku mistook him for a coach
Hilarity can ensue when NFL rookies and veterans meet for the first time.
That is what happened with the Cleveland Browns, when rookie tight end David Njoku mistook stalwart offensive lineman Joe Thomas for a member of the coaching staff.
Funniest moment of the night was when @David_Njoku80 asked me if I was a coach!

.@David_Njoku80 I told him I'm a player/coach. Mostly I'll be coaching, but you will see me playing on sundays.

Thomas has some sympathy for what NFL rookies are put through, so he’ll probably be content to let Njoku take some heat from teammates and the general public on Twitter for his gaffe. He may need some time to live that one down.
