Buffalo Bills Drought Series: Best Bills Players
Stevie Johnson quickly turned getting drafted in the 7th round into a solid and memorable stint with the Bills.
After going to college in Kentucky, Buffalo gave Stevie the nod with the 224th overall selection in 2008.
Stevie ended up working incredibly hard and making his way on to the roster. He had a relatively quiet first few seasons before exploding on the scene in 2010.
Matched with then Head Coach Chan Gailey, and an oddly amazing chemistry with then Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, Stevie would register three straight 1,000 yard seasons with the Bills from 2010-2012, the first Bill in team history to do so.
Stevie is also known for his reaction to dropping that game winning touchdown pass in 2010 against the Steelers.
But he was soon forgiven through his performance and his antics.
He is known for writing stuff on his undershirts and revealing it after a TD, he mocked Plaxico Burress shooting himself after scoring a TD in Met Life Stadium vs the Jets, he wore a guinea Tee to a press conference after a game, and shaved a Bills logo into the side of his head, all in good, harmless fun
With countless tweets and shout outs to the Bills Mafia, it was obvious that Stevie Johnson was happy to be a Buffalo Bill, and the fans were happy to have him.
It seemed as if Stevie would be a Bill forever but after a regime change and a lackluster 2013 season, Stevie and the team partied ways.
But not after cementing his legacy as one of the most nostalgic Bills players during the drought and maybe ever.
