Johnson, a 2023 fourth-round pick, showed some promise while totaling an 81-352-2 rushing line across 15 games as a rookie, but he was then relegated to a short-yardage role in 2024 before dropping further down the depth chart behind D'Andre Swift and Kyle Monangai in 2025. Last year, Johnson logged only four snaps on offense (two carries for 17 yards) across seven regular-season appearances. He's set to reprise a similar gig under head coach Ben Johnson in 2026, though that could change if rookie third-round WR Zavion Thomas ends up being utilized out of the backfield.
