With the calendar flipping to June and offseason programs in full swing across the country, NFL training camps will begin around the league in less than two months. To celebrate the new incoming season, we will be breaking down the Seahawks' 90-man roster over the next several weeks, exploring best and worst case scenarios and what to expect from each player entering the 2021 campaign.
Josh Johnson, Running Back
2020 Stats (at Louisiana Monroe): 321 rushing yards, four touchdowns in eight games
If Johnson would have entered the NFL Draft two years ago, he likely would have been selected at some point on day three after a monster junior season for the Warhawks. The bruising back amassed 1,288 rushing yards while averaging 6.5 yards per carry and scored 11 touchdowns, finishing 13th in the nation in rushing yards and earning Second-Team All-Sun Belt recognition. But he opted to return for his senior season and unfortunately, injuries and a bout with COVID-19 hindered him substantially as his yards per carry plunged to 3.6 and he barely eclipsed 300 yards. An underwhelming pro day didn't help his stock and he wound up going undrafted, quickly signing with the Seahawks as a priority free agent.
