When he is away from football, Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive end George Johnson may engage in one of the most unique hobbies in his spare time: He competes in dog shows.
In a Yahoo Sports piece that profiles his out-of-the-ordinary hobby — at least for a professional football player — Johnson discusses his love of the pastime and how he got into dog shows in the first place.
Johnson first developed an affinity for dog show culture as a junior at Rutgers. Unable to afford the financial aspect and short on time, Johnson only engaged in it sporadically with the dog he had at the the time, an American pit bull named Lupe.
