During their podcast, Sharpe posed a question about who had the better career between the two, to which Johnson humorously admitted, “I don’t even know my goddamn stats; you know my stats?” Sharpe’s response, “They’re not mine,” set the tone for a lighthearted yet insightful exchange. Johnson acknowledged that once he retired from football, he didn’t pay much attention to his stats.
However, the discussion took an interesting turn when Sharpe mentioned his record of the most consecutive playoff wins in NFL history. Johnson dismissed this and attributed the success to the team’s efforts rather than an individual accolade. Sharpe was quick to highlight his personal contribution to these wins.
In the video, Chad Johnson went on to highlight a special achievement of his career: topping the AFC in receiving yards for four consecutive years.
Shannon Sharpe Feels Johnson Doesn’t Belong in the Hall of Fame
In a previous conversation, the Hall of Fame tight end did not hold back when addressing Chad Johnson’s career. He pointed out that, despite Johnson’s impressive career with the Bengals and Patriots, his stats do not quite measure up to the standards of the NFL Hall of Fame.
Sharpe compared Johnson’s numbers to those of Terrell Owens and Marvin Harrison, suggesting that Johnson’s achievements, while notable, fall short. Johnson’s response to Sharpe’s blunt analysis was both humorous and defiant. He quipped,
“Guess what? That’s why I made my own jacket, and I don’t care.”
