He earned a bachelor’s degree in history from USC in 1996. Johnson was inducted into the Cotton Bowl Hall of Fame in 2007, the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame in December 2008, and the USC Hall of Fame in May 2012. The top overall pick by the New York Jets in the 1996 NFL Draft, Johnson played for four teams – Jets (1996-99), Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2000-03), Dallas Cowboys (2004-05) and Panthers (2006) – during his 11 NFL seasons. His on-air contributions have extended beyond football through personality and issue-oriented features and as part of major event coverage on both ESPN and ABC, including the SportsCenter Who’s Now series in 2007. He has served as a guest host on ESPN and ESPN Radio programs. Johnson made his ESPN debut as a guest analyst (while still a member of the Carolina Panthers) on the main set during the 2007 NFL Draft. In 2016, the Southern California native and resident transitioned to his new Los Angeles-based role. During that time he also contributed to Super Bowl week coverage and other events. Johnson was a member of ESPN’s Sunday NFL Countdown and Monday Night Countdown shows from 2007-2015. This fall, Johnson will also assume a new regular daily host role for ESPNLA 710 AM, ESPN’s owned radio station in Los Angeles.

About the Host Keyshawn Johnson, Jorge Sedano & LZ Granderson He can’t run for governor anytime soon, so what is his fundraising for, I wonder? We know what it’s not for: legal fees in the Disney lawsuit. “If Disney wants to pick a fight, they chose the wrong guy,” DeSantis wrote in a fundraising email. That means he won’t have to immediately answer to voters for the ramifications of his fight with Mickey Mouse. Whether DeSantis decides to run for the White House in 2024 or not, he’s not eligible to run for a third consecutive term as governor. That’s the real head-scratcher in all of this. (Incidentally, the parent company of Walt Disney Resorts is also the parent of ABC, where I am a contributor and podcast host.)įloridians might be especially wary of financing this because their governor is apparently auditioning for his next job - in Washington. I wonder whether Floridians, who reelected DeSantis less than a year ago, are hungry for tax dollars to be spent fighting the biggest single-site employer in the country. So is his war on LGBTQ+ people and his fixation with Disney as their defender. The governor we see today is a product of that new ambition. That’s when then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi initiated impeachment proceedings against Trump, and suddenly DeSantis saw a path to the White House opening ahead of him. In 2018, during a Republican primary forum as he sought the governorship, DeSantis was asked about transgender people and the restroom debate in many states, and he said: “ Getting into the bathroom wars, I don’t think that’s a good use of our time.” And you know what the governor did? He corrected the omission, later tweeting: “today Casey DeSantis and I joined the LGBTQ and Hispanic communities in Orlando to pay our respects as our state and nation mourn and honor the precious lives that were lost.” They were approached by a state representative who expressed disappointment that the DeSantises’ proclamation about “Pulse Remembrance Day” hadn’t specifically mentioned the queer or Hispanic communities. In June 2019, DeSantis and his wife appeared at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando to mark the anniversary of the deadly 2016 shooting rampage there.
