Former Philadelphia Eagles safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson, a key player in their Super Bowl victory, believes his trade to the Houston Texans stemmed from the Eagles' discomfort with his competitive intensity. Gardner-Johnson claims he lacked coaching support following an ejection and a practice altercation, attributing both incidents to his competitive nature. He asserts that while teammates never had issues, coaches and the front office did. He now intends to bring his competitive spirit to Houston.
