Keyshawn Johnson on Jon Gruden: "He's Just Always Been a Fraud to Me"
Jon Gruden's time with the Las Vegas Raiders came to an end on Monday night after more emails surfaced showing him using racist, homophobic and misogynistic language. This morning on ESPN Radio's Keyshawn, JWill and Max, Keyshawn Johnson called Gruden a fraud and a car salesman.
"He's just always been a fraud to me. ... From day one, he's always been a used car salesman."

Johnson talked about Gruden more on First Take later this morning while going back and forth with Stephen A. Smith about Gruden's reputation. Johnson revealed that Gruden was known for talking about people behind their backs while he was coaching in Tampa Bay. Johnson played two seasons under Gruden there as they won a Super Bowl.
We're only 27 minutes into today's @FirstTake and Keyshawn and Stephen A. are dropping haymakers on Gruden.

"Jon Gruden's career is over."
"Worst leader of men I've been around in 30 years of football."
"Absolutely horrible guy."
"Dude is a fraud."
"He's just a bad guy."
Gruden has been in and around the NFL for decades so there will be no shortage of people stepping forward with stories.
