Billy “White Shoes” Johnson is known for his famous shoes and fancy end zone dances, but his on-field performance is what made him a playmaking legend. He was a three-time Pro Bowler, an All-Pro and a member of the 75th Anniversary NFL All-Time Team. He played professionally for 15 years with the Houston Oilers, Atlanta Falcons and Washington Redskins. In 1983, he returned from a leg injury to become a Pro Bowler and the NFL’s Comeback Player of the Year.
He had over 6,000 yards as a returner with eight touchdowns; coupled with over 4,000 yards as a receiver and an additional 25 touchdowns. He also is a member of the College Football Hall of Fame from his career at Division III Widener.
Coach Johnson joined FBU in a part-time role last year and he is a full-time contributor this year. He is one of the most special wide receivers to grace a football field and his ability to teach playmaking makes him one of FBU’s most exciting coaches.
