Early life

He attended Cajon High School in his hometown.[1] He then studied at the University of Colorado Boulder where he played college football for the Colorado Buffaloes.[2] He also served as president of the Black Student Alliance and ran unsuccessfully for student body president, after being disqualified on account of being a continuing education student who had not yet paid his university fees.[3] Johnson was drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first round (17th overall selection) of the 1994 NFL Draft.[1]
