NFL rookie expects more playing time
Jets top draft pick wants opportunity to prove himself
The Associated Press
HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. — A man in a hurry, Keyshawn Johnson says his time to be an NFL starter has come.
he says it to the media and around his teammates — even Wayne Chrebet, the incumbent wide receiver whose locker is next to Johnson's. The only people he has not told are the New York Jets coaches. And they have not told him when he will be in the opening lineup either.
"I think I've proven myself," the top overall pick in the NLA draft
san yesterday.
"When I touch the football, I do things with it and that's the bottom line.
"How much longer do I wait ... the whole season? The fifth game?
"It's more
Keyshawn Johnson
important for me to be on the field when the game is on the line. It's more important to be on the field at the right time, when the game is being played, not when you can't do anything about it."
Johnson made a 50-yard catch in the 31-6 loss Sunday at Denver. But he was on the field for only nine first-half plays, and the game was decided in the opening 30 minutes, when the Broncos stormed ahead 310.
Jeff Graham, a high-priced free agent acquisition and an established receiver, was in for all 28 first-half plays. Chrebet, a rookie sensation a year ago but hardly a game-breaking type player, was in for 26.
That apparently annoyed Johnson more than not being on the field for the first snap. He simply wasn't out
there for enough significant plays.
"Do you count all the plays? Or do you count when the game is on the line?" Johnson said. "I wasn't picked to sit behind anybody. That's just the way it is."
"I can't do it sitting around. I was picked to help the team and to utilize my talents. Of the other 29 guys (picked in the first round of the draft), most of them are starting and here I am, barely playing."
Coach Rich Kotite disputes that, saying Johnson had the second-most plays at Denver, behind Graham, of all the receivers. But most of those came in the second half.
Kotite insisted yesterday that Johnson would get plenty of work in Sunday's home opener against Indianapolis.
"I think he is ready to continue to take on an expanded role," Kotite said. "He will play a lot this week, will have an awful lot of plays. He is on the field more and more the longer he is here. He thinks he can contribute. I think he can contribute. He is a force out there, and we will use him."
Kotite said he was not disturbed that Johnson had mouthed off. Known as a coach who prefers the quietly efficient, non-flashy types, Kotite seems entertained by Johnson's outgoing demeanor.
"He's a football player and everything we thought he was," Kotite said. "That is confidence. He wants to help the team and he thinks he can, and the bottom line is, we know he can help the team."
"He doesn't tear anything down at all. The new wants to help us win."
Chrebet said he thought there was room for everyone, from Johnson to Graham to Webster Slaughter to another rookie, Alex Van Dyke, to himself.
"I look at it that we are in a lot of three-receiver and four-receiver sets many times, so it doesn't matter," Chrebet said. "Each can do our own things. Everybody wants to get on the field and make plays and help the team win. I sure want to be out there, too."
FOOTBALL PREVIEW
Nebraska team favored to beat Michigan State
Champion'Huskers seek third title
By RICHARD ROSENBLATT
Finally, No. 1 Nebraska gets to play football instead of talk about it.
And for at least three hours Saturday. the Cornhuskers
and coach Tom Osborne can be more concerned with beating Michigan State than
gan State than fielding questions about
player suspensions.
"The biggest question mark with Michigan State." Osborne said, "was replacing Tony Banks and how well the new quarterback would respond. I thought he did quite well."
The Spartans opened the season with a 52-14 victory against Purdue last week, and Todd Schultz completed 19 of 27 passes for 174 yards and a touchdown to Cedric Irvin, who ran for three more scores. Irvin, the cousin of Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Michael Irvin, tied a freshman school record with his four touchdowns.
Whatever dimension they are, the Cornhuskers are overwhelming favorites for their 26th consecutive victory as they open their quest for a third straight national title.
"Nebraska has tremendous incentive to become the first school in history to win a third consecutive national title," Michigan State coach Nick Saban said. "On the best of days, it's never a treat to play there."
Lawrence Phillips is gone, but Ahman Green returns for his second season after gaining more than 1,000 yards as a freshman. On defense, Terrell Farley was suspended by Osborne after the linebacker was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving. Defensive ends Jared Tomich and Grant Wistrom lead a
