Kevin L. Johnson (born July 15, 1976 in Trenton, New Jersey) is a former professional American football player who played wide receiver for seven seasons for the Cleveland Browns, the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Baltimore Ravens, and the Detroit Lions. He scored the first touchdown in the history of the new Cleveland Browns. He caught a deep pass from Tim Couch for a touchdown as time expired versus the New Orleans Saints.

He was subsequently claimed by 16 teams, and awarded to the Jaguars. He was then traded to the Ravens, and 1 year later signed a free agent contract with the Lions. He is a free agent, most recently working out for the New England Patriots.
