Keyshawn Johnson
Keyshawn Johnson
Chief Executive Officer, Principal

Keyshawn Johnson, the former Super Bowl champion and All Pro wide receiver, joined ESPN in 2007 as an NFL studio analyst the same day he announced his retirement from the NFL. Johnson appears on both "Sunday NFL Countdown" and "Monday Night Countdown" and co-hosts ESPN Radio's weekly "Football Tonight Special" on Fridays during the NFL season. He is a key player in ESPN's year-round NFL presentation, including NFL Draft and Super Bowl week coverage. He made his debut as a guest analyst (while still a member of the Carolina Panthers) on ESPN's main set during the 2007 NFL Draft.

Today, in addition to his ESPN broadcasting duties, Johnson is CEO of First Picks Management, a business management and development company that focuses on franchise businesses. The company recently opened a number of Panera Bakery Cafes throughout the Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo areas. He is also CEO of Keyshawn Capitol Development, a real estate company dealing with properties in both the residential and commercial space - homes, apartments, restaurants and businesses - such as the mixed-use Marlton Square and Chesterfield Square projects in Los Angeles. In 2009, Johnson will be starring in his own reality television show on A&E Networks called "Keyshawn Johnson: Tackling Design" - a 10-episode series showing his hidden talents as an interior designer. What used to be a hobby for Johnson with furniture, fabric and finishings will now be applied to real-life settings where he will help clients renovate various aspects of their home. This show was a natural extension to his many years of buying, renovating and selling homes. He has also started a production company of his own, 1925 Productions.
