Andrew Johnson grew up in Kansas City, Missouri and participated in many different sports as a child. It didn’t take long to discover that playing sports wasn’t Andrew’s forte; in fact, most of his "playing"​ involved goofing around with his friends while warming the bench. No one could have guessed that the time Andrew spent on the sidelines would lead to a job within the National Football League. Rather than going to work every day in a suit and a tie, Andrew goes to work in a suit and tail as a professional NFL mascot.
