Player Performance

Johnson started his NFL career in 2023 in a crowded three-man backfield with Khalil Herbert and D’Onta Foreman. He earned a passing-down role and posted a high target rate and solid rate stats, but he was often asked to stay in for pass protection, limiting his number of routes. As a runner, the 6-foot and 225-pound running back was primarily used in short-yardage situations. That naturally limited his yards-per-carry figure, ability to break off long runs and avoided-tackle rate, but he still managed 4.3 yards per carry.
