From the episode

Amari Di Mercado had a really strong summer, really strong preseason to earn that job and wound up starting the second drive of the game... Emmett Johnson was always a little bit more of him being a very, very premier handcuff who even more than Mike Washington is a guy that I trust to play in all high value touch situations.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Emmett Johnson earned starting role in preseason, impressing as elite handcuff option.

Earned starting role on second drive of preseason game after strong summer and preseason; played in all game situations including third down, though less snaps than Ken Walker on first drive. Source views him as premier handcuff with trust to play in all high-value touch situations, noting he has everything desired in a handcuff prospect.
