Johnson (5’11/212) was Florida’s leading rusher from 2022-2023, missing three games to a knee injury in 2024. He saw college career-highs in carries (162) and rushing touchdowns (12) as a freshman at Louisiana, entering a committee after transferring to Florida. Johnson tested in the top five among running backs at the NFL Combine for the 40-yard dash and 20-yard shuttle, showing quick speed that made him a hard runner with the Gators. He was seldom used as a receiver outside of a 30-reception 2023 and was not asked to pass-block much. Knee injuries hampered his 2024, but Johnson showed enough to be a contributor at the end of a running back rotation at the next level. He could crack a shallow Philly depth chart beyond Saquon Barkley with a strong showing in training camp, but a season on the practice squad is the most likely outcome for Johnson.
