Tre Johnson, a former Washington offensive guard and Pro Bowl selection, has died at the age of 54.
Johnson died Sunday morning during a family outing. Further details surrounding his death were not immediately released.
Johnson played for Washington from 1994 to 2001 after being selected in the second round of the 1994 NFL Draft. He earned a Pro Bowl nod in 1999 during his time with the team. He later played one season with the Cleveland Browns before retiring from professional football.
Before entering the NFL, Tre Johnson played college football at Temple, where he developed into a standout offensive lineman.
After his football career, Johnson switched to education. He worked as a teacher at the Landon School in Bethesda, Maryland. Recent health problems had forced him to take a leave of absence.
Johnson also connected with the News4 community. His wife, Irene Johnson, worked as a photographer at News4 for twelve years.
He is survived by his wife Irene and their four children, Chloe, EJ, EZ and Eden.
Tributes are expected from the Washington football community as fans and former teammates remember Tre Johnson’s legacy on and off the field.
