Career to date
Johnson made the Giants’ practice squad last season after signing as an undrafted free agent out of Toledo. He spent the entire season there. He signed a reserve/futures contract to come back in 2024.
2024 outlook
A good outcome for Johnson would probably be landing on the practice squad for a second consecutive season.
Johnson faces competition from players like fifth-round pick Darius Muasau, Carter Coughlin, Darrian Beavers and perhaps even veteran linebacker/special teamer Matthew Adams.
