Pro Football Hall of Fame defensive back Jimmy Johnson, a three-time All-Pro and member of the All-Decade Team of the 1970s, has passed away at the age of 86. Johnson, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1994, spent his entire 16-year professional career with the San Francisco 49ers.
Known for his exceptional athleticism, Johnson was a versatile player who initially played on both offense and defense for the 49ers. However, he eventually settled in as a left cornerback where he excelled, earning a reputation as a 'lockdown' cornerback who could effectively shut down opposing offenses.
