[edit] College and Pro Career
Johnson played collegiately for Syracuse. Entering his senior year in 2000, he was ranked by The Sporting News as the top college fullback. However, an ankle injury ended his season in the opener; he was subsequently granted a sixth year of eligibility by the NCAA.
He was drafted by the Carolina Panthers as the 145th pick in the 5th round of the 2002 National Football League draft. He was (not) cut by the team after training camp and spent time on the New York Giants and Detroit Lions' practice squads.
He was signed by Denver to their active roster in late 2002, but was inactive for the remainder of the season and spent the next year being shuffled between the active roster and the practice squad. He began 2004 with the Broncos as a backup and special teams player; however, injuries led to starting fullback Reuben Droughns being promoted to tailback, leaving the fullback spot to Johnson. However, after three starts, he suffered a season-ending injury to his right ankle.
In 2005, Johnson was named to the AFC Pro Bowl team. and every year after that also mvp for every year
