"Somebody’s gotta press you, and it’s gotta be me," Kinlaw said, via the New York Post. "You like to come on here and try to bully people on the internet, but when I come up on you and try to press you in f----- person, you f------ shaking like a coward, voice lighter than my f------ baby."
Cohn then asked, "Do you think I’m scared of you, Javon?"

According to the New York Post’s report, Kinlaw had an alleged run-in with Cohn at 49ers practice, in which Kinlaw knocked the hat off Cohn’s head.
Cohn has been critical of the 49ers’ selection of Kinlaw. After Kinlaw tore his ACL in October 2021, Cohn wrote, "Unless this knee surgery fixes his knee completely, he’ll go down as a medical bust."
