Keyshawn Johnson sues NFL agent for almost $1 million from alleged 'oral agreement'

Keyshawn Johnson, a former NFL and USC star, is suing sports agent Christopher Ellison for nearly $1 million. Johnson alleges that they had an oral agreement a decade ago, where Ellison promised to pay Johnson a percentage of his commission for recruiting players to be represented by him. Johnson claims he successfully recruited four NFL players but hasn’t received the agreed payments, which he estimates to be at least $962,335. The lawsuit, filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court, accuses Ellison of breach of contract and misrepresentation. Ellison has denied all claims, and no payments have been received by Johnson.
