Jets welcome wrong player to team after claiming Ellington off waivers

The New York Jets claimed former San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Bruce Ellington off waivers Friday. Someone should probably tell the Jets' social media team who that is.

Because the player pictured in the Jets' tweet here is most certainly not Bruce Ellington:

That's Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Brittan Golden.

So the Jets got the player wrong, the team wrong, and even the position wrong (they listed Ellington as a running back, but he's a receiver).

Does it get any more Jets-y than this?
