Keyshawn Johnson Wiki Biography
Joseph Keyshawn Johnson was born on 22nd July 22 1972, in Los Angeles, California USA. He is famous mainly because of his football career, starting as a college football player and then he played as wide receiver in the National Football League. Now he is an analyst for ESPN.
So just how rich is Keyshawn Johnson? Sources estimate Johnson’s net worth is $70 million, virtually all his wealth having been made from playing football and endorsements. He became millionaire at the age of 24, when he signed his first important contract, with the New York jets. The deal brought him $15 million and a bonus of $6 million. He signed another contract after 4 years, with Tampa Bay Bucs. The team paid him $56 million for an 8-year contract. He spent 2 years at Dallas and then transferred to the Carolina Panthers, which paid him $14 million for a 4-year contract.
Keyshawn Johnson was born into a poor family, with six siblings and a single mother. He sold drugs as a teenager, and was arrested for selling stolen tickets when he was 16. After he was released, he went to Dorsey High School and managed to get an athletic scholarship to Miami University, because of his skills in the football field. He then transferred to the University of Southern California, where he was named the most valuable player and was subsequently inducted into the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame in 2008. He graduated in 1997, with a BA in social sciences and history.
After college football, Keyshawn Johnson was selected to play for the New York Jets in the 1996 NFL Draft, where he played three seasons and had his first Pro Bowl selection, in 1998. Then he was traded to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the team with which he won the Super Bowl Championship in 2002. In the Super Bowl, he had six grabs for 69 yards, but in 2003, he was kept off the field for the last seven games after a furious disagreement with his coach. After Tampa Bay, the football player went to the Dallas Cowboys in 2004, where he lead in touchdowns and receiving yards. He spent his last year as a player at the Carolina Panthers, and in 2006, he became the first player in NFL history who scored a touchdown on Monday Night Football with four different teams.
After retiring in 2007, only one year into his contract, Keyshawn Johnson became an analyst for ESPN, where he hosts “Sunday NFL Countdown” and “Monday Night Countdown”. He has also had several appearances in television shows and series, including “Iron Chef America: The Series”, “Good Morning America”, and “Dancing with the Stars”. In 2009 he also had his own show, “Keyshawn Johnson: Tackling Design”.
Johnson also had or has contracts with brands like U.S. Bank and Jagermeister and, in 2014, he signed a second contract with Adidas for a new release of the shoes Key Trainer, the signature shoes endorsed by the football player in 1996.
Keyshawn Johnson adds money to his net worth from his business, First Picks Management, and his venture capital firm develops investments projects with athletes from the NFL and NBA.
In his personal life, Keyshawn Johnson married his college girlfriend, Shikiri Hightower, in 1998, and the couple had three children before divorcing in 2002, as the former football player was apparently involved in several domestic scandals with his ex-wife; he visits his children once a month. He married Jennifer Conrad in 2014.

Keyshawn Johnson Quotes
- Wayne Chrebet’s a good player, I’ll give him that. But he’s not even a No. 3 receiver, and the Jets have made him All-World.
- High school football in California is a lot like it is in Texas, just fewer rednecks.
- I’ll have huge numbers. I’ll have 1,000 catches, I’ll have 10,000 yards. I’ll have close to 100 touchdowns. I’ll have what they call Hall of Fame numbers.
- To be honest, I don’t consider Terrell Owens, Marvin Harrison or Randy Moss great. I consider them good.
- It’s all the guys that are in TV, especially the ones that don’t have rings… We were laughing, listening to those guys on ESPN, average guys who have television jobs. They were journeymen when they played, and they get an opportunity to pop off.
- I’m free from a horrible situation and, in a couple of months, I’ll be one of the two hottest receivers on the free-agent market, along with Terrell Owens. That means I’m going to get a nice payday and play for a team that wants me. I’m stunned and disappointed by what happened, but honestly, I’m relieved.
- Ronde Barber is an Uncle Tom.
- Comparing Wayne Chrebet to me is like comparing a flashlight to a star, flashlights only last so long, and a star is in the sky, forever.
- Just give me the damn ball.

They were: Mark Carrier, Wayne Chrebet, Terry Glenn, Michael A. Jackson and Keyshawn Johnson.
- Traded twice and cut twice during his career with four NFL teams.
- The New York Jets traded their former #1 overall pick to the Tampa Bay Bucs, before the 2000 NFL Draft, after several incidents in which Keyshawn Johnson violated team policy and verbally attacked team players and coaches.

- Many “tri-state” (New York, New Jersey, Connecticut) sports writers have noted that Keyshawn Johnson mellowed some over the years controlling his outspokenness and softening verbal attacks accordingly.
