Former WR and current analyst Keyshawn Johnson has always been outspoken. Back in 2003 when Johnson was with the Tampa Bay Bucs, his head coach Jon Gruden made the shocking decision of deactivating the flamboyant star for the last 7 games of the season because he felt the team was beeter without Johnson’s influence.
