Packers OL David Bakhtiari Trolls Texans Rookie Lonnie Johnson After Allen Lazard Caught TD Over Him
The Green Bay Packers and Houston Texans had an interesting week of joint practices leading up to their preseason bout, to say the least.
Now, Packers lineman David Bakhtiari is continuing the headlines with his recent tweet to Texans' rookie defensive back Lonnie Johnson.
The tweet stems from a number of different events, so lets go through it chronologically.
First, after Johnson leveled Packers tight end Jace Sternberger over the middle in joint practices, the sidelines cleared for a fight over the incident. Later that day, Johnson posted a picture on Instagram standing over Sternberger with the hashtag #itsfootball.
No doubt would this come back to bite him, as he was embarrassed in the teams' preseason game. In the Packers' 28-26 win over the Texans, Green Bay receiver Allen Lazard jumped and high-pointed a ball over Johnson for a 27-yard touchdown. It was an embarrassing moment for Johnson, which would only get worse thanks to his antics earlier in the week.
Bakhtiari fired back at Johnson on Twitter Friday using the same #itsfootball hashtag from Johnson's Instagram post. The karma delivered to Johnson is something out of a movie.
Luckily for Johnson, the rookie got his "welcome to the NFL" moment out of the way early. This should teach him how to act moving forward.
