Chad Johnson hasn’t been relevant in the NFL for a few years now, but he decided to regale his Twitter followers with his account of trying to fight Ray Lewis:

I remember waiting for Ray Lewis outside the locker room after a game for knocking my helmet off unnecessarily‼️

2nd time we played the Ravens I caught Ray slipping in pre-game, I stepped to him, he started preaching, I was like the Lord can't help you!

So I square up ready to go from the shoulders and Ray is steadily reciting a scripture and I'm ready to rumble, I'm like let's run it WTF!!!

Long story short Marvin Lewis broke it up and saved Ray from getting beat up in pre-game.

So there you are. Given Lewis’s history with suit disposal, this may not have been Johnson’s wisest move.
