On the ESPN pregame show, the crew was discussing the NFL's new concussion policy and how it affects injury disclosure. Johnson made his comments, basically stating that he would hide injuries to meet the incentives in his contract to get more money. Jim Brown looked at Keyshaun and said "I guess I come from a different era," going on to say that money was not as important to players in his day and that winning was the priority. It was awesome seeing Johnson get called out for his greedy ways on live TV.

And yes I know this could have been placed in the NFL Forum...but I figured it deserved to be here since we all hate the former player.

i have no clue why some panthers fans absolutely hate keyshawn. just because our team has poor coaching and a bad general manager doesn't mean any player we cut loose was the problem.

keyshawn's point made sense. not everybody in the nfl has the kind of contracts the big names have. if you're only making 300,000 a year, do you really wanna risk losing your starting position, special teams position etc by having your backup come in and play well?

he only brought up that point after Brown questioned him. At first he only mentioned money, and was only talking about himself. He said that he only needed 19 yards to hit 1000 for the season, and that he wanted to play only to reach 1000. He said that the team couldn't make the playoffs, so that is all he was concerned about. He tried to cover up and not sound so TO like afterward by mentioning those players that might lose their starting spot or roster spot altogether.

And I hate Keyshawn because he is Keyshawn, not because of his time as a Panther. He is greedy and is not a team player. he whines to much and does not try to make others around him better. That, in addition to more, is why I hate him. The sad part, he acts that way despite a very mediocre NFL career.

what nfl player isn't selfish? steve smith's the one whining after wins complaining that he's not an asset to the team.

Sorry, but Smitty is nothing like Key. Smitty will always put himself on the line & never trash talk his players like Key does. Sometime Key doesn't even try when he has the chance where Smitty will.

      Rookie minicamp

      This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops.

      I saw numerous reports leading up to the draft that he'd been injury red flagged by numerous teams due to cartilage damage and wear issues that they think could shorten his career.
