If LSU quarterback Max Johnson ever brought his dad to career day as a kid, he was likely the envy of the entire class. He is the son of Brad Johnson, a former NFL quarterback who spent 15 years in the league. 



Now Max Johnson is trying to create his own legacy with the Tigers. He is expected to start after Myles Brennan underwent surgery at the beginning of August. 



Naturally, his dad has been one of the top people he has sought advice from. 



“Some of the advice he’s given me is to give your all and be the best you can be every day,” <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6M0t20LDI0">Max Johnson said in Monday’s press conference</a>. “Encourage others and be present in the moment. Don’t think what happened in the past and don’t think ahead of you. Just focus on the details. Focus on the little things.”



Max Johnson got experience last season after Brennan went down with an injury as well. He played in six games, finishing with 1,069 yards passing and 10 total touchdowns. 



Brad Johnson played his college years at Florida State. The Minnesota Vikings selected him in the ninth round of the 1992 NFL draft. He spent seven seasons with the Vikings the most of any NFL team. He also had stops in Tampa Bay, Washington and Dallas. 



Now retired, Brad Johnson has apparently <a href="https://www.onlineathens.com/story/opinion/2021/08/11/brad-johnson-coaching-and-enjoying-trick-shots-tiktok/5566470001/">started doing basketball trick shot videos on Tik Tok</a>. Max Johnson laughed when a reporter asked what he thought of his dad’s viral fame. 



“He gets after it on those trick shots,” he said. “He has a lot of fun and makes them all the time. He has a little slogan, ‘First try, first take.'”



Perhaps some of the accuracy that his father displays with the football on social media has worn off on Max Johnson. The Tigers certainly hope so as they prepare to take on UCLA in their season opener on Sept. 4. 



Coming off of a national championship victory in 2019, LSU finished just 5-5 this past season. The team went from Heisman winner Joe Burrow to playing three different quarterbacks. They still ranked fourth in the SEC with 312.2 passing yards per game. 



Now that Johnson has had an extra year to develop (plus advice from his dad), can the LSU come back strong in 2021?
