STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Johnson's strong preseason debut and camp positioning suggest RB2 role and offensive upside.

Fifth-round rookie RB flashed in Week 1 preseason with 12 carries for 59 yards, showing vision and quickness the Chiefs haven't seen at the position in some time. Brashard Smith and Emari Demercado were in the mix during camp and preseason Week 1, but Johnson stole the show. When Johnson came out as the first back behind Kenneth Walker at camp this week, it likely signified he is on his way to becoming the backup running back this season with a larger role within the offense.
