Gary Johnson Jr. brings proven linebacker production and CFL-ready versatility
Johnson is a compact, high-motor linebacker whose calling card is production: at Texas he posted 150 tackles, 22.5 tackles for loss, and 8.5 sacks in 26 games, and his college resume also included three forced fumbles and 12 quarterback hurries. He plays with speed and open-field range, which shows up in pursuit and tackle finish, and his pro path suggests a versatile, dependable defender rather than a one-tool specialist. For a team needing an aggressive, downhill linebacker who can impact both run fits and pressure packages, he’s a strong fit.
