He certainly never read How to Win Friends and Influence People, but it doesn't matter—in spite of all his on-the-field and off-the-field shenanigans, we're convinced Keyshawn Johnson has a heart. Check out his track record: He's got The Keyshawn Johnson Education Foundation. He raises money for the Boys & Girls Club. There's the Keyshawn Johson College Bound Scholarship Program. (Cocky he may be, but a dumb jock he ain't. Keyshawn graduated from USC with a double major in sports psychology and law and society.) And to add to his list of goodwill, he will host the The Keyshawn Johnson Golf Classic on Friday at Tour 18 in Flower Mound beginning at 11:30 a.m. Proceeds from the event will benefit several charities including The Texas High School Catastrophic Injury Association.
