John Johnson III is Now an Honorary Eagle
Published:
Not to be confused with the guy from Sports Radio 94 WIP, John Johnson III is a safety for the Los Angeles Rams.
He’s going to the Super Bowl, while the New Orleans Saints are not.
Johnson was the dude who picked off Drew Brees in overtime on Sunday afternoon, then he got up and did the motorcycle choppa celebration:

That’s the first part of the story. That’s how it needs to be framed before reading this, after the jump:
Rams safety John Johnson III said a big reason he decided to do Choppa Style trolling is he didn't like the way the @Saints seemed to mock @Eagles' dog masks. He has friends on the Eagles.
"I wanted to do that dance going into the locker room on a pick-6 or something," he said.

John Johnson III is from P.G. County, Md., where #Eagles DBs Rodney McLeod, Ronald Darby & Tre Sullivan are also from. https://t.co/XAdHlHjAdv

Rams by 50 over the Patriots.
