		With two of his last three seasons spent on injured reserve, Johnson understands that coaches might question his durability, which is something he can quiet by performing up to his standards in 2006.

		Itâs a nice list of accolades for the one-time baseball player who didnât begin playing football until the ninth grade (he was too heavy for youth leagues) when he stopped by the JV practice field on his way to the baseball diamond.
