Johnathan Joseph: Future Hall of Famer?

From Coffeyville Community College to the Pro Football Hall of Fame, it’s certainly been a wild ride for Houston Texans cornerback Johnathan Joseph. Now, it’s about to get even more exciting with a historic mark within his reach.

Joseph transferred from Coffeyville to the University of South Carolina in 2004, but didn’t really land on anyone’s radar until after the 2005 season, when he received an invite to the NFL Scouting Combine. Joseph proceeded to run a 4.31 40-yard dash and flew up the draft boards from there.

J-Jo was selected 24th overall by the Cincinnati Bengals, who put him third on the depth chart leading into his rookie season.
