The Facts:
Johnson, the second overall pick in this year's NFL draft, ran with the second team Monday. He missed eight days of practices before signing Friday and has to play a little catch-up. "He's got to get in shape," HC Rod Marinelli said. "The guy's just been here a couple of days. He's got to make sure he knows what he's doing all the time. He's still a young player. He's a young guy, and he's missed a lot."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Johnson spent some extra time Sunday watching film and studying his playbook while the players were off, but he said he wasn't overwhelmed. "Nah," Johnson said. "Just got to stay in my book, keep studying. I've got the gist of it, got the concepts down. So I've just got to study so I don't make any more mistakes." And despite Marinelli's contention he's behind, Profootballtalk.com reports that Johnson already looks like a "man among boys" during workouts.
