veteran, efficient, comeback-tested QB with a steady floor
Max Johnson is a seasoned quarterback whose appeal is his poise, accuracy, and low-mistake profile: in his 2025 North Carolina stint, he completed 62.1% of his passes for 437 yards with 2 touchdowns and 0 interceptions, and he also showed he can contribute on the move[13][12]. Across his college career, he has thrown 49 touchdown passes with 6,306 passing yards, and his fit is strongest for a team that values experience, composure, and a quarterback who can run a functional offense without forcing the issue[6][2]. His biggest differentiator is resilience after a severe 2024 leg injury, which adds real context to his return and leadership value[10][17].
