Johnson is just 26 years old after entering the NFL as the Chargers first round pick in the 2022 NFL draft. In four seasons, the athletic Boston College lineman has played in 66 games, including 65 starts. Johnson has versatility, having played on both the right and left sides of the offensive line so far in his career.
Not the biggest guard, Johnson has elite athletic traits that new HC Todd Monken and OL coach George Warhop will hope to take advantage of:
Cleveland is still awaiting official word on OL Joel Bitonio’s future. If the veteran returns, Johnson could slide over to the right guard spot. If Bitonio decides to retire or move on to another team, Johnson will likely remain on the left side.
How do you feel about the Johnson signing? Do you think it means Bitonio is not returning or unrelated?
