My Take
Keyshawn Johnson was the kind of receiver who bent games to his will through sheer conviction. At 193 cm he had the frame, but it was his self-belief that defined him, going first overall to the Jets in the 1996 draft and then carving an eleven-season path through Tampa Bay, Dallas, and Carolina. Two-time All-American at USC, he was no fluke. I find his post-playing articulateness telling: a man who could break the game down on air clearly read it deeply on the field. I have always had a soft spot for athletes who own their own voice.
