    • Curtis Johnson played right cornerback for the wide majority of his career, particularly during the Miami Dolphins glory days of the 70s.

    Selected in the in the fourth round, the 81st overall pick, in the 1970 NFL Draft, Johnson would start 113 of his 125 appearances.

    The Dolphins would win no less than 10 games in Johnson’s first six seasons as a pro and would only win less than 10 games once during his career.

    Johnson made a key play for the Dolphins’ second Super Bowl championship as he intercepted Fran Tarkenton in the 24-7 victory.

    Johnson’s 20 interceptions place him in a tie for tenth in franchise history. Johnson was the model of consistency, he only had one season without an interception and two seasons without multiple picks. He also racked up about 530 tackles during his nine seasons in Miami.
