Johnson, who enjoyed 11 seasons in the NFL, says that instead of lavishing money on a new house, he spent the first two years of his career living inside the Bengals stadium.
"What's the point? Why are you telling me to go rent a house, go buy a house, or go rent a condo when everything I need is right here in the facility?"Showers, cafeteria, TV, couch, gaming system. What's the point? I was so locked in. It wasn't about having my own space." He spent 10 seasons with the Bengals before finishing his playing days with a short stint at the New England Patriots, making six Pro-Bowl teams.
Despite earning millions throughout his career, Johnson says he was never tempted to splash out on expensive clothes and fast cars.
