Eight years after his last appearance in the NFL, Johnson announced on his Twitter account that he was trying out for an XFL team as a kicker.
Since his last game in the NFL, he has spent time in the CFL. So this doesn’t come as a colossal surprise.
The opportunity to kick in the XFL has presented itself, i must tryout Monday in Houston, I’m excited as hell & I’m sure all will go well 🙏🏿

In Week 2 of the 2009 preseason, as a member of the Bengals, he converted an extra point and then booted the subsequent kickoff due to an injury to starting kicker Shayne Graham.
