Emphasizes 'suddenly and unexpectedly' prominently in headline and throughout text, creating slightly more dramatic framing than warranted. The repetition of these phrases and description of wife as 'devastated' adds emotional emphasis beyond straight reporting. Otherwise factually accurate with good biographical detail.

The headline creates slight sensationalism with 'Ex-NFL star dies suddenly & unexpectedly' and the phrase 'leaving 4 kids in shock,' which editorializes the family's emotional state for dramatic effect. Body text is more straightforward, though still emphasizes the unexpected nature. Otherwise factual coverage with extensive quotes from wife's statement.

Includes the most specific detail about circumstances of death, citing sportscaster's claim Johnson collapsed at a hotel during his son's football game. This information appears in no other source and may be significant context, though it's attributed to a friend rather than confirmed. Slightly more sensational headline framing with 'dies suddenly.'

Straightforward reporting relying almost entirely on the wife's Facebook statement with minimal additional framing. Uses 'standout' to describe his career but otherwise sticks to factual recounting. The headline's emphasis on 'NFL-All-Star' slightly overstates his one Pro Bowl selection but is within reasonable bounds.
