Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Johnson has played nine years in the NFL, beginning with Tom Coughlin’s Jaguars from 1995-97. He has also played for Buffalo, Tampa Bay, Washington and Oakland. Johnson did not play in 2004 or 2005 while recovering from arm surgery. In the last two years, Johnson has worked at Camp Quarterback, a renowned camp in California run by his father, Bob, that has helped produce outstanding players including Carson Palmer, Drew Brees and David Carr. Let's hope Dad spent some time teaching him to dodge pass rushers. Avoiding the rush has been a glaring weakness.
