I don't doubt that Johnson could be having some issues from his days playing football. But he was a loose cannon in his early years. Still it's an eye opener for sure, and many others are also suffering similar things.

Still NFL running back is the one position in sports where if a player has one or two good seasons...hold out for more money. Chances are you will be out of the league by the time you're 30, and your body and now it's looking like your mind could be well gone by that time. For most players, unless you do like Barry Sanders and shock the world, you likely are out of the game due to being injured or cast off long before you want to be.
