Chad Johnson
We picked him for being so controversial, fans like controversy.
Eventually, public opinion shifted. People looked at Chad Johnson and noticed that he was just as vociferous when angry as he was when upbeat. Instead of winsomeness, they saw selfishness.
The problems manifested this past offseason. Chad Johnson started to whine very publicly. He attacked the organization before demanding a trade. Claiming he’d sit out the season, Ocho Cinco gave up $200,000 in bonus money when he skipped voluntary workouts.
After Lewis went before cameras and called the receiver’s bluff, Johnson, who is nothing without football, reported to minicamp, tail between his legs.
It wasn’t funny; Football America just sat there and stared at him.
