2026 Projections
Puts name in 2026 Draft
Johnson announced Dec. 5 via social media that he will forgo his remaining eligibility at Nebraska to enter the 2026 NFL Draft.
ANALYSIS
Notre Dame's Jeremiyah Love stands out as the clear top running back in the 2026 class, but the 5-foot-11, 200-pound Johnson could make a case for being the second member of his position group to come off the board in April's draft. During his junior season at Nebraska this fall, Johnson gained 1,451 yards and scored 12 touchdowns on 251 carries and shined in the passing game with 46 receptions for 370 yards and three more scores.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Brugler's fourth-ranked RB
Johnson is the fourth-ranked running back in the comprehensive NFL Draft guide compiled by Dane Brugler of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Brugler is high on Johnson's pass-catching ability, which Johnson showcased with 46 catches at Nebraska in 2025. Johnson can also get the job done on the ground, as evidenced by his 1,451 rushing yards in 2025, so Johnson appears likely to be drafted in Round 3 or 4.
