Inky Johnson's life is the perfect representation of a negative being turned into a positive.  He was able to share his inspiring story last week with the Baltimore Ravens.

Johnson was invited to Ravens camp at the Under Armour Performance Center.  He spoke in the auditorium about what he did after suffering a football-ending injury while at the University of Tennessee.

Johnson discussed his quick bounceback from what was a life-altering situation.  He also talked about how he was shaped by a tough upbringing. 

While playing for the Vols, Johnson suffered nerve damage as a senior in an early-season game against Air Force.  His time as a college star and potential NFL hopeful was over. 

Johnson went on to get two degrees from Tennessee.  He has become a popular motivational speaker across the country and regularly mentors underprivileged youth. 

Johnson also co-authored the book, "Inky: An Amazing Story of Faith and Perseverance".  Much like his speaking engagements, it details his life all the way from the tough neighborhoods of Atlanta to today.
