CELEBRATION - Keyshawn Johnson moved to the edge of a couch near a table on the patio outside the Celebration Hotel. Elbows resting on his knees, he leaned over his cell phone like a bird hunched over a nest.

The air was thick and damp. The only things stirring were a few die-hard autograph seekers straining against a barricade and a police officer sitting inside his cruiser parked a few feet away with the air conditioner running.

Mosquitoes took turns making stealth attacks at his arms and legs, but Johnson rarely raised a hand to swat them.

"Those mosquitoes bothering you, man? You've got to just let them eat away," Johnson said.

When you are Keyshawn Johnson, you have to develop a thick skin.
