Johnny Otis Knox II was born on November 3, 1986, in Houston, Texas. After graduating from Channelview High School in Channelview, Texas, in 2005, Knox attended Tyler Junior College from 2005 to 2006. At Tyler, he excelled, leading all junior college receivers with 884 yards and 12 touchdowns in his sophomore year. He then transferred to Abilene Christian University, where he continued to demonstrate his athletic ability. In his first season at Abilene Christian, Knox recorded 62 receptions for 1,158 yards and a school-record 17 touchdowns, finishing third in Division II for touchdown receptions in 2007. The following year, despite increased defensive attention, he achieved 56 receptions for 1,069 yards and 13 touchdowns.
Knox’s professional career began when he was drafted by the Chicago Bears as the 140th overall pick in the fifth round of the 2009 NFL Draft. During his rookie season, he quickly made an impact, catching a 68-yard pass in his first NFL game and scoring his first touchdown against the Pittsburgh Steelers. A notable highlight was his 102-yard kickoff return for a touchdown against the Detroit Lions. He concluded his 2009 season with 45 receptions for 527 yards and five touchdowns, also ranking second in the NFL for return yard average with 29.0. His performance earned him a selection to the 2010 Pro Bowl.
The 2010 season saw Knox lead the Bears in receiving yards with 960 and tie for the team lead in receptions and receiving touchdowns, both with five. In 2011, he continued his strong performance, leading the Bears in receiving yards with 727 and ranking second in the NFL in yards per reception (19.6). His playing career was curtailed by a severe spinal cord injury suffered in December 2011 during a game against the Seattle Seahawks. Despite extensive rehabilitation, the injury led to his retirement from football in 2013.
