Former NFL Receiver Charles Johnson Passes Away At 50-Years-Old

Charles Johnson was a former first-round pick in the NFL. He was also a Super Bowl champion. Charles, who played in the NFL for nine seasons, sadly died at the age of 50, and his fans all over are grief-stricken.

According to TMZ, Johnson had been working as an assistant athletic director at a high school in North Carolina. On Tuesday, the school revealed the heartbreaking news. They revealed it in a tweet by stating, “RIP Coach. You will be missed by so many, especially your Husky Family.”

The Pittsburgh Steelers took Johnson #17 overall in the 1994 NFL Draft. He was selected just a few picks after the Colts selected Marshall Faulk. He then went on to have a successful professional career.

Johnson was a key component in Tom Brady’s first-ever Super Bowl victory. He was a member of the 2001 New England team that defeated Kurt Warner’s Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI. He left the NFL after the 2002 season.
