Duane Johnson decorated the cover Sports Illustrated

Another achievement of Duane Johnson shared in his Instagram, posing a photo with the cover of Sports Illustrated and admitting that he had dreamed of the appearance on the cover of this authoritative edition from 15 years.

"When I was 15 years old and I just started playing football, I dreamed that I would once play NFL and I would find on the cover of Sports Illustrated. I did not make your way into the NFL (and besides, I was excluded from the Canadian football league). But my failure is still inspiring me to move forward even now. And now, more than years, my dream to get on the cover Sports Illustrated finally turned out. "

Grateful to share this EXCLUSIVE NEW COVER w/ you. Failure can be a cool & powerful thing.. When I was 15yrs old and started playing football, I had a dream that one day I'd play in the NFL and be on the cover of Sports Illustrated. Keep in mind, at 15, I also considered becoming a pro-boxer 'cause I thought I could be beat Mike Tyson who at that time, became the youngest ever Heavyweight Champ, so clearly my goals were extremely ambitious if not crack pipe level impossible. I failed to make it to the NFL (as well as got cut from the Canadian Football League). But my football failure created a drive that still pushes me today. Now years later THE COVER of @SportsIllustrated dream & goal was just achieved. Holy shit! (that's the 15yr old in me talkin';). At the end of the day, I want to surround myself with the hungriest and most brilliant team, because I never want to just play in the game, I always want change the way the game played. And thank God I didn't fight Mike Tyson. #FromAthleteToCEO #ToTheCoverOfSportsIllustrated #SevenBucksProds #1Baller *LINK TO FULL STORY IN MY BIO
