Johnson was born in Miami, Florida. Johnson attended Langston University in 1997 but not play football after graduating from Miami Beach Senior High School. He enrolled in 1997 at Santa Monica College, a community college in Santa Monica, California. Steve Smith, a football wide receiver at Santa Monica College, starred alongside him. After being intensely recruited by coach Dennis Erickson to play for the OSU team, Johnson went to Oregon State University in 2000. T. J. Houshmandzadeh, a future Bengals teammate, led his team to an 11–1 record and a triumph over Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl this year. During a game against Stanford, Johnson also set a school record for the longest touchdown reception with a 97-yard reception.
Professional career
With the 36th overall pick, the Cincinnati Bengals of the National Football League selected Johnson in the second round of the 2001 NFL Draft.
In Johnson's rookie year, he saw some playing time, with 28 passes for 329 yards and one touchdown. He set a Bengals franchise record by receiving 1,355 yards in 2003. In a 58-48 victory over the Cleveland Browns, he passed for 9 touchdowns and 1,274 yards, with 117 receiving yards.
Johnson surpassed his franchise record in 2005 by throwing 1,432 yards. For four seasons in a row, he led the AFC in receiving yards for four years, and he made the Pro Bowl five times from 2003 to 2007.
During the 2005 NFL season, Johnson announced that he would keep a checklist named Who Covered 85 in 2005, which would evaluate the defensive backs who were able to cover him. Did 85 do everything he could to guide his team to victory 11-6-05? The Bengals' head coach, Marvin Lewis, updated Johnson's list on November 2, 2005. Multiple questions regarding Johnson's results both on and off the track were on the list, which was an obvious parody of the original. The list was intended to annoy their divisional rival, the Baltimore Ravens, who the Bengals will face in four days, according to the Bengals' official website. Johnson was dissatisfied with the new list, since he had acquired a superstitious belief in the older list. During the game, he put on a superb show, prompting the return of the original list.

Johnson only made two touchdown passes in the first eight weeks of the 2006 season, when only amassing 483 yards. However, he had a breakout game against the San Diego Chargers after shaving his Mohawk and improving his mentality. Johnson finished with 260 receiving yards and two touchdowns, a new Bengals record for most receiving yards in a game. In a 31-16 victory over the New Orleans Saints over the following week, he went on to amass 190 receiving yards and three touchdowns. Johnson also set a new record of 448 yards in back-to-back games (to be surpassed by Cleveland Gordon of the Cleveland Browns, who have amassed 498 yards in 2013), ties the previous record of 448 set by San Francisco 49ers receiver John Taylor in 1989. He finished with 123 yards receiving in the first week since the NFL-AFL merger in 1970, breaking the three-game receiving record and coming within 40 yards behind the all-time record.
Johnson made 87 receptions for a season-best 1,369 yards and seven touchdowns in 2006. He was the first Bengal to lead the NFL in receiving yards. Johnson and Houshmandzadeh were the first Bengals teammates to pass over 1,000 yards in the same season.
Johnson, in addition to being one of the most valuable receivers in the NFL, was also one of the most popular in Pro Bowl voting. He came first in the fan voting for the 2006 season and fourth overall with 987,650 total votes. After receiving touchdown passes, Johnson received national attention for his flamboyant demeanor, which was often displayed during his infamous end zone celebrations.

Johnson passed over 1,000 yards for the sixth straight season, leading him over Carl Pickens as the Bengals' all-time leader in receptions.
Johnson and Houshmandzadeh gained over 1,000 receiving yards for the second year in a row. However, the San Francisco 49ers' loss last week guaranteed that the team would finish the year with their first losing season since 2002. In a victory over the Miami Dolphins, Johnson had four receptions for 131 yards and two touchdowns, giving him 93 receptions for 1,440 yards and 8 touchdowns on the season.
Johnson's 1,440 yards set a new Bengals franchise record, beating his own record of 1,432 in 2005. It was the third time Johnson played in a season with a new Bengals record for receiving yards.

In the same year, Johnson and Houshmandzadeh were the first two Bengals receivers to play in the Pro Bowl together.
Johnson appeared on ESPN's Mike & Mike radio show on January 13, 2008. During the interview, he talked about how the media and team treated him during the 2007 season, saying, "I was branded selfish and a tumor, and it hurt. "I was criticized by fingers this year." I think you need to get rid of the issue if the team and the organization want to advance itself (make the playoffs). To do me that way and not to have my back. "No one came to my defense," the old lady said. However, Bengal head coach Marvin Lewis spoke out against the fact that the Bengals will not be trading Johnson. Lewis said, "He's been a Cincinnati Bengal for a long time."
Johnson felt manipulated by Lewis and was publicly threatening to miss the 2008 season, but ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported it on February 4th. Johnson said, "Call me, Dan," referring to Redskins owner Daniel Snyder, who was out of town on April 22 to deny a Washington Redskins trade for Johnson involving a first round 2008 pick and a 2009 pick. Johnson said on NFL Network's NFL Total Access, he did not want a pay raise from the Bengals but wanted a "change of scenery." Lewis said he hadn't talked to Johnson since the last regular season game, and reiterated his lack of interest in a trade. Johnson continued to want to be fired in April after weeks of silence, triggering a divide with colleagues by refusing to attend off-season workout classes and practices. Johnson told ESPN The Magazine that he will be there (of course)" at the beginning of the Bengals' mandatory minicamp on June 12, a day before the season's mandatory minicamp, which was announced by his agent.

The Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants expressed an interest in Johnson before the 2009 season began, after he missed voluntary team offseason workouts.

He kicked off and made an extra point in the game, which culminated in the Bengals' 7-6 victory.
