The weather is still too cold for Crabgrass.

Agreed.
I suspect it is just a different type of grass. I have a small section of my yard where some golf course fairway grass invaded and established.

@007noob! Howdy!
That isn't Crabgrass, which is an annual grass that comes up every year. I think it's still too cold up in NJ (thanks for putting your location in your signature! A gold star!) for it to start yet. I agree with @SeniorCitizen and @Colbyt.
That looks more like Kentucky 31 tall fescue which we had in my mom and dad's lawn in Ohio. It's lighter green, much coarser textured, and grows much faster than the more desirable blue grass / rye grass seen in most lawns, and it's perennial.
Crabgrass killer won't kill it.
But you can try.
Crabgrass is pictured below. Your grass is not it, I'll almost bet 1,000 rolls of TP and a Covid mask on it.

Care to give us a picture? Might as well kill two birdies with one stone . . . . :vs_cool:

Allow a small clump to form a seed head and the id will be simpler.

If it really is K-31, you're looking at a tall tuft, like up to about three feet!

It’s green so I mow it and call it a lawn.
