Woody Johnson back with Jets, believes team can be ‘special’

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Woody Johnson is happy to be back. And he wants nothing more than to see the New York Jets become winners. That has been the charge of the team’s owner and chairman since he took over the franchise is 2000. But Johnson was away from football the last four-plus years while serving the country as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Kingdom under former President Donald Trump. Johnson’s focus has returned to the field and he likes what he’s seeing from team president Hymie Elhai, general manager Joe Douglas, coach Robert Saleh and the players, many of whom he met for the first time over the last few months.
