Before his NFL career, Jonson played college football for the Iowa State Cyclones.
He did not play until his junior season, and caught only four passes that year (though they were good for 116 yards and two touchdowns).
[1] Johnson told ESPN's John Barr on January 28, 2011, that he took about 1000 pain killers per month during his playing days, as a result of the numerous injuries and broken bones he suffered.
He was also the only player to catch a touchdown pass from Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino in Super Bowl XIX.
