Duane Johnson dekorerade den illustrerade omslaget

En annan prestation av Duane Johnson delade i hans instagram, vilket poserade ett foto med omslaget av sport som illustreras och erkände att han hade drömt om utseendet på omslaget till den här auktoritativa upplagan från 15 år.

"När jag var 15 år och jag började spela fotboll, drömde jag att jag en gång skulle spela NFL och jag skulle hitta på omslaget av sport som illustreras. Jag gick inte in i NFL (och dessutom, jag var utesluten från den kanadensiska fotbollsliga). Men mitt misslyckande är fortfarande inspirerande mig att gå vidare även nu. Och nu, mer än år, min dröm att komma på de omslag som illustreras äntligen visade sig. "

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
