He's in Oregon. Maybe Nike can help us out a little?
 
I know this may be obvious, but is he the son of the Olympian Michael Johnson. He doesn't run like him, but he's damn fast.
 

Maybe we kick the tires? We have at least something going for us here.

No thanks. Doesn't seem like he's ever even played QB or completed a pass in college

23 rushes for 149 yards and 7 TDs last year. Could he be the mystery running back?
Edit: As a position change.

Thanks for the info. Checked to see if there was a prior thread but I did not pull up for me.
Wonder if he could be an backup qb option?
