About Stevie Johnson

Steven John Johnson Jr. is an American former professional football player who was a wide receiver in the National Football League (NFL). Johnson was selected by the Buffalo Bills in the seventh round of the 2008 NFL draft and also played for the San Francisco 49ers and San Diego Chargers. He played college football at Kentucky. Despite never making the Pro Bowl, Johnson was the first Bills receiver to post back-to-back seasons with over 1,000 yards receiving, and has been considered one of the best draft steals in franchise history. After the season, Johnson was selected to the College Football News' All-Southeastern Conference first-team. After his senior season, he earned All-State and first-team All-Conference honors.
