Since the Max Kellerman era for First Take has come to an end, ESPN’s popular debate show has been using a rotation of high-profile guests and analysts to take his place. On Wednesday, former Pro Bowl wideout Keyshawn Johnson was on the show to debate Stephen A. Smith.
At one point during Wednesday’s show, Johnson and Smith had a debate about which position in football has the biggest divas.
Johnson was very animated about this subject, detailing why he believes quarterbacks are the biggest divas in the NFL.
“The moment that we look like we’re frustrated or we have a certain swag to us, we’re divas,” Johnson said on First Take. “But quarterbacks can ask for the highest money, they can decide whether or not – Brett Favre if I want to play one day, don’t want to play another. Aaron Rodgers can decide if one day he wants to play. I might need to have some control or else I’m going to do Jeopardy!. If a receiver did that, we would be crucified.”
This rant from Johnson inspired him to reveal some interesting information about his former teammate, Tony Romo.
“I played with Tony Romo on the Dallas Cowboys,” Johnson told the First Take crew. “Tony Romo is one of the most diva-ish dudes that I’ve ever been around at that position, and he wasn’t even starting at the time.”

Romo certainly doesn’t sound like a diva when he’s on air for CBS Sports, but perhaps his personality behind the scenes is a bit different.
It’d be interesting to hear what Romo has to say about Johnson’s comments. However, he’s probably busy getting ready for Week 1 of the 2021 season.
