FLORHAM PARK, N.J. — Woody Johnson had strong words for Braylon Edwards when he met with him following the Jets wide receiver’s drunken-driving arrest Tuesday morning.
“I just shared with him my feelings,” the Jets owner said Thursday. “I told him exactly what I’m telling you: ‘This is not acceptable, Braylon. I’m disappointed. You let yourself down. You let the team down.’ “
Edwards was arraigned on drunken-driving charges Tuesday after a breath test showed he had a blood-alcohol level twice the legal limit when he was stopped on Manhattan’s West Side, prosecutors said. Edwards apologized to the team, fans and his family.
“This is a serious thing to be accused of, so I’m sorry that it happened to one of our guys,” Johnson said, addressing the issue publicly for the first time.
