Former NFL star Keyshawn Johnson is asking for assistance from the public as authorities search for the missing daughter of a family friend.
Johnson, the former No. 1 overall pick in the 1996 NFL Draft, shared the plea on social media on Sunday morning, urging anyone with information to contact law enforcement. The longtime wide receiver wanted to spread the word.
“My friend’s daughter is missing. If anyone has any info then please call the number in the picture or call Phoenix PD directly. Thanks,” Johnson wrote on X.
