Stuart Scott seemingly left his mark on everyone.
Scott, a longtime ESPN anchor who died of cancer at age 49 on Sunday, had a unique ability to connect with both colleagues and the athletes he covered. Keyshawn Johnson, a former NFL wide receiver and current ESPN analyst, had the opportunity to work alongside Scott on both sides of the spectrum.
Johnson was one of several ESPN personalities to discuss Scott’s lasting impact Sunday as the network — and people everywhere, really — paid tribute to a truly influential sports broadcaster. While discussing Scott’s death, Johnson couldn’t help but get choked up.
Check out Johnson’s emotional reaction to Scott’s passing in the video below.
