What's so unique about that - Jim Nantz is hawking FloTV (although the commerical is hilarious), Pat Summerall sells financial services, Michael Strahan sells Dr. Pepper, Howie Long sells Chevy Trucks (even though his pre-game show is sponsored by Ford), and then there's Madden...
Maybe these were the only companies that think Jimmy Johnson fits into their targeted demographic. Maybe he thought appearing on "Survivor" would be fun (he wouldn't have done it unless the suits at Fox gave their OK). Who knows what the motivation is? If they're paying him a boat-load of $, and he nor the suits at Fox are not embarassed about his commercials - more power to him.
