Keyshawn Johnson is going to announce his retirement today to work at ESPN.

Really, I don't know which is worse, him talking about how great of a football player he IS or talking about how great a football player he WAS.

Good. Now he'll have more time for himself, which is really all he cares about.

I'm waiting for future news of him signing a lucrative contract with ESPN.

I should make a collage of all the moments during the draft he mentioned looking forward to working with the Panthers' rookies.

i think he'll be an entertaining tv personality.

hard to call him a bust, but who would have drafted a possession receiver first overall?

maybe he'll write another book. I predict he comes back mid-season to a contender looking for WR help.

This wouldn't surprise me at all. I'd go as far as to say it's likely to happen.

I wouldn't call any WR a bust when the best QB they ever played with was Vinny.

he played with drew in dallas, and he did well there.

Keyshawn never lived up to expectations. I don't think that can be argued. He had a solid career, but so much more was expected when he came out of college.

I rest my case. :lol:

Drew never had a year like Vinny's best year.

As a Jets fan I never had any problems with how he performed on the field. The game he had in the '98 playoffs vs. Jax is one of the greatest performances ever.

There was some guy a while back arguing for Keyshawn as a Hall of Famer. Personally, I can't believe that is possible, but he does have pretty good numbers. Any other opinions?

he only went over 1,000 yards four times. Not good enough.
