Pretty far fetched but imagine me being consistent during an XFL season & getting a chance at a 53 man roster in the NFL, even i don’t make it just being able to compete for a spot at a entirely different position will be so riveting 🙂

Suiting up for the Bengals from 2001-10, he was part of the first resurgence of the franchise under Marvin Lewis.
The speedy receiver led the AFC in receiving yards four times and won the NFL receiving crown in 2006.

Johnson is a well-known soccer fan who famously dabbled in kicking even when he was still a star receiver for the Bengals.
He actually served as the team’s kicker in a preseason game after regular kicker Shayne Graham was injured and made a PAT kick.
Johnson also offered to kick for the team in 2016 when Mike Nugent was mired in a slump.
