One NFL player you wish never played for your favorite team

Kansas City Chiefs: Larry Johnson, RB

Larry Johnson wasn’t a bad player for the Kansas City Chiefs by any means. He was drafted in 2003 with the 27th overall pick as the eventual heir to Priest Holmes — but it was his outbursts and casual approach that caused problems.

Early in his career, Johnson was openly upset with head coach Dick Vermeil who told him he needed to take the “diapers off.” While Johnson was livid, Vermeil was trying to get him to approach the game with more urgency and wanted him to mature as a player — although, he admittedly could have used other words.

Johnson put that behind him and by his third season in the NFL, he was a star. He had 1,750 yards and 20 touchdowns that year and followed it up with 1,789 and 17 touchdowns in 2006.

But then, things started to go bad for Johnson. He was suspended when he spit his drink in a woman’s face in 2008 — and this was not the first time he was accused of assault on a woman.

Johnson also started making waves with his Twitter account, something he still does to this day. He used social media to bash his head coach and then hit a fan with a homophobic slur. He also bashed another fan once on Twitter for making less than him, which is what finally led to GM Scot Pioli giving up on Johnson.

From there, he appeared in seven games for Cincinnati, two for Washington, and one in Miami. Since retiring, Johnson has had even more weird exchanges on Twitter — including spreading a lot of QAnon-worthy information. Surely, Cheifs fans cringe every time one of his tweets goes viral and they would probably like to forget what he looked like in their uniform.
