Johnson is fourth in Miami Hurricanes history in receiving touchdowns and tenth in yards. He holds nearly every major receiving record in Texans history. Johnson concluded his career by playing a year with the Indianapolis Colts and half of the 2016 season with the Tennessee Titans.
Johnson had one of the most memorable games in Miami Hurricanes history. He recorded seven receptions for 199 yards and two touchdowns in the 2002 Rose Bowl victory over Nebraska. That gave the Hurricanes the 2001 National Championship. Johnson shared the Rose Bowl MVP Award with Miami Hurricanes quarterback Ken Dorsey.
