Loran Smith: “Big Bad Brad, No. 14”
Loran SmithIn Tampa, BTB (Before Tom Brady), the most popular guy in town—even on intermittent visits—was Brad Johnson, the Oconee County based former Florida State quarterback who led his Buccaneer team to victory in Super Bowl 37.
Perhaps, he is better known in many places for his TicTok account, “Big Bad Brad, No. 14.” His standard video opens on the basketball court. He is spinning a basketball on his finger and then arches a shot from the corner, with dead-eye aim, the toss strips the net. Then, grinning expansively, he reaches down for a football and fires to the goal at the other end of the court. That toss strips the net, too. Amazing, simply amazing.
