Former Kentucky DT Cory “Poop” Johnson certainly has one of the strangest nickname in all of sports.
Now, the ex-Wildcat has a new team, as well. On Wednesday, the CFL’s Toronto Argonauts announced they had signed Johnson to a deal.
After failing to catch on with the Atlanta Falcons and Kansas City Chiefs following his Kentucky career, Johnson spent the past two seasons with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers before signing with Toronto:

Johnson played for Kentucky in 2014 and 2015, recording 77 tackles (12 for a loss) and 4.5 sacks. He also had one interception and a recovered fumble that he returned 77 yards for a touchdown.
Now, he’ll try to shore up a rebuilt Argonauts defensive line that has had a lot of turnover.
