Title: Four years and positions later, walk-on Kelly Johnson relishing opportunity Post by: Catch Prothro on August 30, 2012, 01:47:44 PM http://www.al.com/alabamafootball/index.ssf/2012/08/four_years_and_a_few_positions.html
Quote As a child in Charlotte, Vinnie Sunseri saw Kelly Johnson as the guy who could do it all. Sunseri, Alabama’s sophomore safety, was only a fifth grader when he saw Johnson, a seventh grader, dunk a basketball. “He was a freak athlete,” said Sunseri, whose older brother, Tino, played on Johnson’s middle school football team. “I was like, 'Wow, I want to be like Kelly.’” Years later, the tables had turned. With Sunseri on scholarship and seeing action as a true freshman, Johnson, who had finally worked his way into some special teams duties as a walk-on junior, wanted to be just like Vinnie. He wanted to play.
