As ex-girlfriend of Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Tony Romo, Jessica Simpson seems to have a preference with football player, as she is dating with another NFL player recently, just months after she broke up with Romo. Her current boyfriend is Eric Johnson, a seventh-round draft pick from Yale in 2001.
Being picked by the San Francisco 49ers in 2001, Johnson played his last NFL season in New Orleans Saints jersey for the 2007 season. He has been out of the league for the past three seasons but did not ever announce retirement. According to reports, he divorced his wife earlier in the year and started the relationship with Simpson since May.
When Johnson caught a career-high 81 passes in 2004 season, he was considered to be an overachiever and no less great than Romo. Although he has been less famed since leaving football, he is still a good match for Simpson because the star singer also has faded quite a bit from the spotlight since ending his relationship with Romo.

Saints TE Shockey will return for workouts
Appearing in his No. 88 New Orleans Saints jersey, tight end Jeremy Shockey gave Drew Brees a big hug after the quarterback won a charity softball game on Wednesday at Zephyr Field. Actually he offered more than supports to his quarterback- the tight end made commitment that he would take part in team’s offseason workouts as frequently as he can.
Actually what Shockey promised was that he would do what he did during last offseason, that was spending most of his offseason with the team. What’s interesting, Shockey seems to enjoy working out with the Saints than practicing with the New York Giants in his first six career years with the latter team. While being a Giant, he spent most of his offseason saying in his college town of Miami, but after joining the Saints, he surprised quite a lot of people by working hard with quarterback Brees and other teammates in New Orleans. Well, Shockey explained that he simply like the weather in New Orleans much more than that in New York.
"You know, it's hard working out in New York when it's cold outside and you have to work indoors. It's great weather here, and I have no excuse not to be here," Shockey said. "We work all the time. Today we worked on routes with Drew and everything. So I'm here a lot of the time. And if I'm not here it's for a good reason."
