Ex-Hawk big catch for Giants
Bobby Johnson makes transition from KU to NFL
Includes games through last night
By David O'Brien Sports Editor
But the wide-eyed look on the teenage faces as he told his story made it clear — Bobby Johnson has made it to the big time.
After all, even college scouts weren't easily standing in line for Assumption High's 145-pound wishbone quarterback
Jayhawk fans who saw him play in Memorial Stadium can't be too surprised by Johnson's success in the NFL.
You can join Junkyard's Jym the entire summer for $37.
But Johnson is a Giant now — a New York Giant, that is. And though he isn't throwing passes, the former KJ! standout is scree catching plenty.
HEY STUDENTS!
Johnson spoke at head coach Mike Gottfried's KU football camp Monday. At 6 and 175 pounds, he still not large by pro standards. He didn't speak loudly or boast of his achievements. He didn't wear a lot of jewelry or a shirt with 'Giants' on it. In fact, dressed in shorts and a T-shirt, he didn't look much different than some of the larger campers.
SUMMER STUDENT SPECIALS
Former Jayhawk wide receiver Bobby Johnson helped lead the New York Giants to the National Football League playoffs in his rookie season.
Johnson opened eyes around the National Football League in 1984, starting every game as a rookie wide receiver for the Giants and playing a key role in leading the team to the NLP playoff. He finished the season with 48 receptions and led the Giants in receiving yardage with 756 yards.
Although some NFL teams questioned his desire to play after his short stay with the Stars, the Giants picked him up as a tree agent. He imitated the other team's starting spot on opening day, and he kept it for the rest of the season
**Drafted by the Philadelphia Stars following an outstanding 1983 season at KU; it didn't take long for Johnson to realize that the United States Football League wasn't for him. He stayed at the Stars' training camp for a week before deciding to test the waters of the National Football

What a deal!
Johnson said he had adjusted to playing football as a job instead of just for turn. He also has had to adjust to life in New York.
Johnson has lived in Lawrence since the end of the season in January. He plans to return again and work toward his degree at KU.
"I just relaxed this year," he said of his vacation since the season ended. "But next year I'm going back to school."
As a high school senior in East St. Louis, Ill., Bobby Johnson never thought he'd play are football.
Following the Giants' season-
ending loss to San Francisco in the
playoffs, Johnson was awarded with a
new three-year contract. He said
he would join the Giants in salary, up from the $55,000 he made for his efforts last season.
"It's not really that different," he said. "New York life's a lot faster, though. And the people are always going somewhere."
But life in the Big Eight was nothing compared to the NFL, and Johnson said starting in the first professional of his career was a little unsettling.
KU expected to gain berth in 'new' NIT
The National Invitation Tournament is scheduled to announce its 16-tem team field tomorrow, but KU basketball coach Larry Brown yesterday would not confirm teams would be chosen for the final tournament.
"When you're new, you're nervous," he said. "As a free agent, I was surprised just to make the team."
In the meantime, Johnson will prepare for another kind of school -- the Giants will open training camp July 19.
This will be the first year the NIT will be during the preseason. The tournament traditionally has been at the conclusion of the regular season. But expansion of the NCAA tournament made it difficult for the NIT to attract strong teams with the old format.

Johnson called that victory one of the biggest moments of his career at KU. For the game, the Frank Seurer-to Johnson connection accounted for 10 receptions for 208 yards and a touchdown.
NO MEMBERSHIP NEEDED TO SUNTAN!
Twice during the 33 season Johnson caught for over 200 yards in a single game including the 33-1 defeat of K State in lawsuits.
But Johnson overcame the nervousness and had eight catches for 137 yards and two touchdowns on opening day.

That's right! Now, non-members can enjoy tanning at junkyard's Jym without a membership.
Johnson transferred to KU after a year at Independence Junior College, where he was converted from quarterback to wide receiver. In three years, he set many Jayhawk single game, season and career receiving records. He ranks second in KU's all-time career record losing yards 1789 yards, and his 154 yards in 1983 is a Big Eight record
The Rocky Mountain News reported yesterday that Texas-Ela Paso, Washington. Pepperdine and possibly KU would comprise a four team regional tournament Nov. 22-24 in the McNichols Sports Arena in Denver Houston, Indianapolis and Hartford, Conn., reportedly have been chosen as the other regional tournament sites.
McRae, who was expected to help the Jayhawk football team at wide receiver and as a kick returner hit by the Jacksonville High School in Bradford, Fla.
The younger Patty, a catcher, currently batting 500 for the Lawrence Legion Hawks, was recruited by several junior colleges.
KU coach Marty Pattin, who played for the Royals from 1944-50, signed his son, Jon, to a letter of intent Monday. Earlier that day, Brian McRae, who had signed to play football and baseball for KU next season, opted to sign a contract to play for the Royals.
The Kansas baseball team won't have Hal McRae's son Brian on the roster next season, but they will have one of a former Kansas City Royal
The Jayhawks also lost standout signee Travis Chambers, who signed with the Philadelphia Phillies earlier this week.
