FSU's Michael Johnson gets to play in front of pro scouts

FAYETTEVILLE, North Carolina  --Michael Johnson's football career at Fayetteville State ended in early November, but the two-time All-CIAA safety hasn't taken a day off since.

"I've been in the gym or on the field constantly,'' Johnson said. "I've been playing football since I was 4 years old and I'm not ready to give it up just yet.''

Apparently, there are plenty of significant people who believe Johnson has the potential to keep playing - at the professional level.

The 6-foot-2, 196-pounder from Raleigh has been signed by the HOF Player Representatives out of Canton, Ohio, a sports agency that serves several NFL players, and he's been invited to participate in the 2015 College Gridiron Showcase on Jan. 31 in Arlington, Texas.
