Kevin L. Johnson (born July 15, 1976 in Trenton, New Jersey) is a former professional American football player who played wide receiver in college for Syracuse University (where he lost a battle for the quarterback position to Donovan McNabb, hence his switch to wide receiver), then for seven seasons for the Cleveland Browns, the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Baltimore Ravens, and the Detroit Lions. He caught a Hail Mary touchdown pass from Tim Couch as time expired against the New Orleans Saints to give the new Cleveland Browns their first win. Kevin was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in the second round in the 1999 NFL Draft. He played for the Browns until 2003, when he was cut mid-season by head coach Paul Hilton "Butch" Davis. 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.
