Following McKnight’s years of NFL football, he played in the CFL.  Sadly, the incident is similar to the murder of former NFL player, Will Smith.  McKnight was a hometown hero, as proven by the tweet below:

Joe attended John Curtis Christian High School located in River Ridge, Louisiana.  In 2005, he scored 22 touchdowns, leading his team to a state championship.
