Juwan Johnson's awareness is through the floor, and his latest post on Instagram proves it. If Chad Johnson gets a hold of this post, the New Orleans Saints tight end's awareness level would certainly dip from a 75 to in the 60's.
In what appears to be a partnership with Invisalign, Johnson promoted the brand with what has to be the most absurd first line he could have chosen, "Smiling like I just caught a game winner." Huh? There's no way he thought about that for more than a second.
Johnson has been terrible with his words this season. His post game statements after critical mistakes have left much to be desired. Johnson didn't seem to be beating himself up in the moment. Maybe you could argue the fans shouldn't need to see him doing that. There was a nonchalance in Johnson's comments that was surpassed by his post. He had time to think about it and still thought it was a good idea. It teeters on purposeful disrespect.
Dear Juwan Johnson, Please catch a game winner and not post about it Sincerely, All Saints fans
Most people post this after catching a game winner. Not Juwan Johnson, though. He'd much rather use this caption when his failed game winner is still fresh on the mind.
Let's not tap dance around the issue. In the first game of the season, Johnson dropped a great pass from Spencer Rattler in the end zone that had the chance to tie or even win the game if the Saints successfully went for a 2 point conversion.
So when Johnson says he's "smiling like he caught a game winner," he completely opened himself for all of the comments to tell him to actually catch a game winner. That's exactly what they did. The tight end is an easy target this season, and decisions like this only make the target bigger.
This feels like a slap in the face to all Saints fans. There is either a lack of awareness or Johnson simply doesn't care. If I didn't know any better, this certainly feels like a man taunting a fan base. It's not just that Johnson signed a new contract he's yet to live up to. It's the fact he made that post after failing to catch a game winner just two months ago. We don't know what your game winning smile looks like.
