Chad Johnson's introduction to the New England Patriots was rather intense.

The former NFL wide receiver, who spent the 2011 season with the Patriots, offered some insight into Bill Belichick's coaching style during an appearance on Tuesday's episode of "Uninterrupted," sharing a story about the time Belichick ripped Tom Brady in a team meeting.

"Everybody getting in. Belichick puts on - first day, no greeting, no nothing - he puts on the loss to the Jets in the playoffs or something where they went home early," Johnson said. "He puts it on and rips into Tom. First meeting, no practice, like everybody (is there), and he's going on and he's at Tom's head.

"I'm like, is this a joke? Are we being punked?"

Needless to say, Johnson was very careful about how he conducted himself around the coach from that point on.
