Diontae Johnson refused to play for Ravens because he was ‘too cold’

You would be forgiven for already forgetting that wide receiver Diontae Johnson was with the Ravens for a stint last season. The former Pittsburgh Steeler and Carolina Panther had quite an interesting stay in Baltimore after arriving via trade at the trade deadline. Just a few weeks after joining a Ravens team with legitimate Super Bowl aspirations, Johnson was suspended due to refusing to enter a game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

While on the Sports and Suits podcast recently, Johnson revealed his thought process for the bizarre decision, citing the cold weather as his reasoning.
