#CHARMAS JERMAINE JOHNSON FOOTBALL CRACK#

I like playing video games and I think I'm a pretty fun guy to be around, so why not make some content and see if other people feel the same? I have some fun with that.ДЇrierson: What game are you playing the most right now? I'm a football player and I'm always known as a football player, but it's kind of cool to be known for something other than that, that you like a lot. I think that's pretty fun, that content creation. It like gaming and whatnot, playing video games while I record myself. I was thinking about starting my own YouTube channel and I actually did kind of start it. Just stuff like that, memories like that with all the guys, I'll definitely miss it.ДЇrierson: Do you have a creative side? Is there anything creative you do or wish you could do? Winter and summer workouts, we get in there and we just sit there and lay on the ground for 10 or 15 minutes because we're just exhausted. You're just sitting in there and it's fun times. You've just got guys around you that you can relate to with that, and also the good parts about it that you can relate to.

Just being that close with those guys, the camaraderie, it's a group of guys that you've gone through the hardships with, in terms of athletics, and the physical endurance when your body's all tired. The locker room is one of the most special parts about football. We have a lot of fun in there.ДЇrierson: Is that one of the things you're going to miss, whenever you're done with football, that time in the locker room with the guys? My row in the locker room, we call them rows, my little area, with like 10-15 players on it, and I think we're all funny.

We all just sit around and crack jokes - everybody's funny.

It was crazy.ДЇrierson: Who is the funniest guy on the team? My wrist was bleeding from hitting the rim. I was surprised, and after that I was dunking all day. So I just ran up to the hoop and jumped as high as I could and then I don't know I just dunked it. They were like, you can dunk, just try it. And I was like, no, I can't, I've never dunked. Some kids on the older (varsity) team were like, you can dunk, bro. I was in probably ninth grade and I hadn't dunked yet but I was tall. And with some hard work and some time put into it I could be wherever I wanted to be, so I just stuck with that.ДЇrierson: Going back to your basketball days, do you remember your first dunk? I couldn't have been good at other sports but football was already something I was naturally good at. I was good at all sports, I just realized I was probably best at football. Johnson: I played basketball, I ran track and I was going to pursue another spring sport but I decided not to. And I've got to put some dessert in there, some apple pie or pumpkin pie.ДЇrierson: What other sports did you play when you were growing? Which ones were you good at? You know those barbecue weenies, the appetizer ones, those are a favorite. Johnson: I like greens, for sure, cornbread, there's got to be some turkey in there - man, we have so many dishes out there. Aside from that, after the holidays are over with, I'm done with the snow and the cold.ДЇrierson: Speaking of holidays, what is your favorite Thanksgiving spread? The only thing I'll say about Minnesota's winter is that it fulfills the whole holiday feeling around that time, with the snow and everything. I grew up in it but that doesn't mean I like it that much.ДЇrierson: How much do you enjoy the fall and winter that you experience down here? Johnson: You've got to be made of, I don't know, some sort of insulation, under your skin, that you develop over time as you live there. What kind of stuff do you have to be made of to live through the weather in Minnesota year after year? During our Chat, he also talked about his first dunk, video games, fun times in the locker room and more.ДЇrierson: I just looked up the temperature in Eden Prairie a little while ago and it was 30 degrees. The 6-foot-5 and 240-pound senior outside linebacker is second on the team with 4.0 sacks this season, his second with the Bulldogs since coming over from Independence Community College. Not everyone is built to handle the many frigid months that Minnesotans endure throughout the year, and Johnson is enjoying our local weather just fine, but he does like being around the snow and cold over the holidays. As Jermaine Johnson talked during our Quick Chat on Monday, a beautiful mid-60s day here in Athens, it was 30 degrees back in his hometown of Eden Prairie, Minn.
