Former NFL wide receiver Keyshawn Johnson said on the radio late last week that there is "something wrong, mentally" with the Tampa Bay quarterback Buccaneers Jameis Winston he's fumbled with an Uber pilot woman in 2016, as has been alleged.

According to reports that Winston is facing a suspension of several NFL games as a result of the incident, Johnson said on ESPN 710 AM on Friday that his first reaction to the latest Winston news was simple: "Man, you can not stay out of trouble. "

"I am not a doctor and I do not plan to be, but there is something wrong with you," continued Johnson, referring to Winston. "If this is true, the fact that you continue to have badual behavior problems against women, there is something wrong, mentally, I do not care what someone says.

Johnson, who was a wide receiver of America at USC and who won the Super Bowl with the Buccaneers in 2002, added that he knew Winston since the quarterback was in high school. He said that he had coached Winston, the No. 1 pick in the 2015 draft, in a high school star game before the quarterback entry to Florida State.

Johnson then came back on the subject at the study: The Uber driver's claim mentioned above, that Winston had grabbed his crotch while they were sitting in front of the window of Hitchhiking from a Scottsdale, Arizona restaurant. (Winston denied the allegation.)

Johnson made reference to another allegation of badual badault that Winston faced in college and said the trend could prompt the NFL to take more permanent action.

"Eventually, they'll lock him up, they'll rule him out of the league," Johnson said on ESPN 710 AM.

"I would say that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, if they did not do it, need to sit down seriously with doctors and people who know this type of behavior, because that 39 is something that exists. "
