Here’s something I never thought I would write. Former Pittsburgh Steelers quarterbacks Jerrod Johnson and Dennis Dixon hooked up for a 64-yard catch-and-run yesterday during a contest for the American Flag Football League, whose games are being televised on the NFL Network.
Dixon, a former Heisman hopeful while with the Ducks in college, never quite made it in the NFL, though he got to start a few games. Yesterday, he caught a dump-off pass from Johnson and slipped between two defenders for a long gain, nearly a touchdown, only he stepped out of bounds.
