The 2011 NFL season kicks off it's first weekend of football tomorrow! As fans from around the country bring out jerseys donning the colors of their favorite team and head to the stadiums tomorrow; we all should take time to remember what happen 10 years ago, as we remember September 11, 2001. By now, many know that the NFL and it's players will be taking part in remembrances at each stadium and within their equipment; but as fans, we should all remember that regardless of the color of the jersey a fan is wearing, we are all on the same team and that teams bearers the stars and stripes of the United States.
As Buffalo Bills wide receiver, Stevie Johnson, prepares for the upcoming season, he finds himself in a new role within the Bills offense. With the departure of Lee Evans(to Baltimore), Stevie finds himself as the team's #1 wide receiver. After a breakout season, in which he led the Bills in every receiving category, many wonder if Johnson can follow up on last season. This pre-season Johnson has shown that he has not let up and has looked focused to build off of last years results.
Stevie and his Buffalo Bills teammates travel to Kansas City for week 1 to face the Chiefs, a team in which the Bills lost to in overtime last season. In the loss, Johnson had 5 catches for 37 yards and 1 touchdown that tied the game up late in the 4th quarter.

VIZIO TVP
Congratulations to Stevie Johnson on his nomination for the Vizio Top Value Performer for the 2010 NFL season. Other nominees for the award are Brandon Lloyd, Peyton Hillis, LaMarr Woodley, and Ahmad Bradshaw.
As a Top Value Performer, Johnson hauled in 82 passes for 1,073 yards and 10 touchdowns, making him one of the most underpaid wide receivers to reach 1,000 yards receiving the season. The third year wide receiver out of Kentucky earned $470,000 in 2010 which is considerably less than other wide recievers in the game such as Steve Smith(Carolina Panthers, $5.75mil) and Hines Ward(Pittsburgh Steelers,$4mil).
Recently, Johnson updated his Facebook status with the following:
"Im Personally Shipping a Free New Vizio Tv to the Top Voter for SJ13!!! Vote for me in the link below. Win ur TV now! Vote Vote and Vote again!"

Pro Bowl Update
The NFL has recently announced that Houston Texans wide receiver, Andre Johnson, has officially dropped out of the 2011 Pro Bowl for the AFC squad. With his(Andre Johnson) absence from the game it has created a void in the WR position for the AFC team. The void has been filled by New England Patriot, Wes Welker.
Despite leading Welker in every statistical category for wide receivers, except catches, Stevie Johnson was not named as the alternate at the wide receiver position. Johnson trailed Welker by only 4 receptions during the season, but had 225 more receiving yards, 3 more touchdowns, and a higher yards per catch and yards per game average than Welker.
With the AFC wide receiver slots currently occupied by Reggie Wayne(Indianapolis Colts), Brandon Lloyd(Denver Broncos), Dwayne Bowe(Kansas City Chiefs), and Wes Welker(New England Patriots) we will continue to monitor and post any updates to the position if any players are to drop out of the Pro Bowl. Also, it should be noted that 3 of the 4 players currently scheduled to attend the Pro Bowl are still participants of the NFL Playoffs with their respective teams.

Congratulations
With the Buffalo Bills season completed for the past few days and the players lockers cleared out at One Bills Drive, we would like to extend a congratulations to wide receiver, Stevie Johnson.
In his first season as a starter(third year in the NFL), the former 7th round selection surpassed the 1,000 yard receiving mark for the first time. Johnson became the first Bills player to reach the achievement since Lee Evans accomplished the task in 2008.
Stevie finished the season with 82 receptions for 1, 073 yards and 10 touchdowns. The 10 touchdowns was one touchdown short of tying the Bills record for TD receptions in a single-season. Though he may have not tied or set the record there, Stevie did manage to tie another record during the course of the season. Johnson tied the Bills all-time consecutive games with a touchdown mark in the middle of the season.
Congratulations Stevie on the 1,000 yards, the record, and a breakout year. The fans of the Buffalo Bills look forward to many more successful seasons and the excitement you bring to the game!
