Whatever happened to these 30 forgotten college football superstars?

6. Ian Johnson, running back, Boise State

Ian Johnson is best known for being involved in two of the most iconic plays in Fiesta Bowl history. Johnson scored the game-winning two-point conversion to upset the Big 12 champion Oklahoma Sooners and, after the game, proposes to his girlfriend, Chrissy Popadics.

Boise was down after Oklahoma scored on their opening possession in the first overtime. Instead of kicking the extra point. Then-head coach Chris Petersen decided to go for two. If one of the great “tricks of his sleeve” plays, Petersen calls the classic Statue of Liberty Play. Johnson runs the ball in for the two-point conversions sealing the greatest upset in major bowl history.

During an interview with Chris Meyers, Johnson then proposed to his girlfriend, and she said yes. Despite some hate mail Johnson received because they were an interracial couple, it was something right out of Hollywood.

Johnson was not drafted in the 2009 NFL Draft despite running the fastest 40-yard dash time for a running back at the combine (4.46). The Minnesota Vikings signed him but never made it past the practice squad. Johnson never made it past the practice squad for any team that signed him in the three seasons he spent in the NFL.

That does not overshadow one of the best careers in Boise State history. As a Bronco, Johnson ran for over 4,000 yards, breaking Marshall Faulk’s conference record for rushing touchdowns (58).
