Stevie Johnson was one of my favorite receivers growing up that was a #1 receiver that came out of nowhere. He wasn't on the level of Andre & Calvin Johnson nor was he a big name like them. But boy did he have speed, great route running, and hands until things started to fall apart & the antics started to kick in. Jersey number aside he definitely reminded me of a precursor to Odell Beckham Jr. a guy with the physical build and skill of a slot receiver that are good enough to play on the outside. Reggie Wayne, Victor Cruz, Odell, Pierre Garcon, Wes Welker. But specifically Stevie & Odell moved very similar on the field.
He was on the level enough to be the only Bills WR to have 3 consecutive 1000 yrd seasons. Stevie was nasty. Had he played in a bigger market he would've been more of a household name. And, the years he was in Buffalo, they didn't really have no other offensive threats. Fred Jackson? Maybe...but...
I agree with everything but the speed part. He actually wasn't that fast but his remarkable and odd route running almost always got him open even on the likes of Revis and Sherman in their primes.
@@naplesluck True. I rewatched his tapes & it was definitely more his route running than speed. simply his tremendous route running. I would add Pierre Garcon to that list of recievers I mentioned as well. Extremely underrated and was a #1 for short period of time. Definitely got busy with Peyton Manning as his QB.
Stevie Johnson & Steve Breaston of the Arizona Cardinals were two WRs that I gravitated toward growing up. It was like they came out of nowhere and had good success for a nice 2-3 year peak. Very fun to watch. Lowkey underrated names.
Stevie Johnson was the man. His moves and route running was tremendous. He's pure ALPHA on the field. Top 3 past Bills WR of all time! Moulds and Reed round it out, in case you were wondering. Love Diggs. However, if he could humble himself enough to reach out to Stevie, I think he could gain from him.
Lol no he didn't. Whoever the kicker was at the time botched the kick and hit the Jets special teams guys giving them great field position. Don't put that on Johnson.
One of the more underrated receivers of that era, like people forget that he had 3 straight 1,000 yard seasons!!
He’s an absolute dawg he got the best of prime Sherman and prime Revis.
Him taunting or making fun of Plaxico during his TD celebration is hilarious til this day.
He might not be a hall of Famer or anything like that but he had 3 straight 1,000 yard seasons and that should never be forgotten
Different type of player to have 1,000

He was AB before AB, just never had a consistent QB and played in BUF during NE's prime

Steve Breaston #GoBlue
He was one of the best in the nfl at beating Revis, which is insane to think about
Used to tear Revis ass up for some reason

Loved scooping this dude in fantasy
Stevie was that guy all day.
And was single handedly the cause of the greatest cmon man segment in history 😂😂
Best Bills route runner of all time don’t @ me.
Among big names like Andre , Pearless and Molds
Not sure but diggs is up there now.
I wish Stevie had the freedom to celebrate the way they do today he was a fucking riot 😂
Man Stevie J was elite
Then moves are so smooth
Watching this video with is Jersey on now.
His Plaxico Burress celebration was fucking hilarious
Making Ryan Fitzpatrick look like Tom Brady
man…stevie was before his time . so fucking good
imagine bro with Josh at the helm😮💨😩
Imagine bro
@@Gavblends he’d be a top 5 wideout in the league with Josh today, just like Stef
@@sincitymafia7241 exactly bro
His route running was way ahead of his time. Cooper kupp and davante Adams type routes
Stevie used to give Revis that work!
Any receiver who’s last name is Johnson is A straight up dawg 😂
Him and Mike Williams of the Bucs disappeared after making alot of noise
Damn we wore those dark blue jerseys longer then I remembered
I hated those jerseys. However, t wish we could go back to the red helmets. Really loved those.
Had Revis on ice skates
plaxico eating his 🥣 at home watching the game, then 😳 double takes 4:40
Garrett Wilson sent me.
Same!
Better than Diggs
Who’s here after the divorce ?
Yerrrrr
4:40. Cost us the game my mocking Plaxico Burris shooting himself. Still funny though
Lol no he didn't. Whoever the kicker was at the time botched the kick and hit the Jets special teams guys giving them great field position. Don't put that on Johnson.
3:42 how come he didn't get all the attention like OBJ got when he made his catch that was identical to this?
