NASHVILLE, Ky. – Heading into the 2006 Music City Bowl, Kentucky fans knew quarterback Andre” Woodson, running back Rafeal Little and wide receiver Keenan Burton were among the Wildcats’ best playmakers.

The jury was still out on one future NFL star though.

Wide receiver Stevie Johnson had caught just nine passes for 92 yards in the regular season. In an upset of Clemson in the bowl game, he broke out with three catches for 67 yards.
