Stevie Johnson, a name that once echoed through the halls of the Buffalo Bills, has made a bold statement. At 39 years old, he believes he could still make an impact on the field, specifically against the Denver Broncos' defense. Johnson, who last played in 2015, is confident that he could contribute significantly if given the chance. Johnson's claim isn't just about nostalgia. He points to his past achievements, including being the first Bills receiver to record back-to-back 1, 000-yard seasons. He believes his experience and technique could still outmaneuver current defenders, even top players like Patrick Surtain II.
But is this just bragging? Johnson insists it's not. He attributes his confidence to his understanding of the game, which goes beyond physical attributes like speed or height. He believes his knowledge of technique and strategy could still make him a formidable opponent. Looking at the Bills' current roster, Johnson sees an opportunity. He thinks the Broncos' strong secondary might be overcompensating because the Bills lack a premier receiver. This, he believes, could be an advantage for someone with his experience. Johnson's comments come as the Bills prepare to auction off items from Highmark Stadium. He's on board with this, showing his continued support for the team he once played for.
