Former #1 overall NFL draft pick and infamous egomaniac** Keyshawn Johnson was a wideout for the Carolina Panthers as of last weekend. When his team drafted USC receiver Dwayne Jarrett (a fellow Trojan) in the second round, he got excited and started talking about mentoring the new kid. Then Carolina cut Johnson from the team to make room for Jarrett. Ouch.
This may be sweet justice as far as Jarrett is concerned. Towards the end of the clip, he gets called out for not following Johnson's advice about staying in school for another year. Johnson basically implies that had he listened, his draft stock wouldn't have fallen like it did. Look whose stock is falling now.
At least Jarret won't be alone without Keyshawn. Trojan teammate Ryan Kalil was also taken in the second round by the Panthers and another USC alumni, Keary Colbert, has been playing wide receiver in Carolina for three years. Best of all, Jarrett can now be mentored by a slightly more humble player named Steve Smith. That would be Steve Smith the NFL star wide receiver, not to be confused with Steve Smith the USC star wide reciever who was also taken in the second round of this year's draft. Confused? At least you still have your job, unlike Keyshawn.
**If you want to play a drinking game, take a shot everytime Keyshawn says "me" (or makes any other unnecessary personal reference) in this short video clip. It might be a rough evening for you.
