Acme Packing Company on Kaleb Johnson
From the article
If the Packers are going to lean on someone in the ground game, Johnson looks like the default pick. The Packers have been ramping Johnson up, too. He carried eight times in their Week 2 win over the Jets (a career high) and was on the field for 24 snaps during last Thursday's debacle against the Falcons (also a career high, and the second-most of any Packers back that night behind Brooks' 27).
STACKED’s take
Johnson is the default Packers back for power-running scheme; ramped up to career-high usage.
Johnson is the default pick to lead the Packers' ground attack in their revamped power-running scheme; he's been ramped up with 8 carries (career high) in Week 2 vs. Jets and 24 snaps (career high, second-most among Packers backs) vs. Falcons. At 224 pounds and 4.57-second 40-yard dash, he is physically tailor-made to hammer between the tackles in a gap scheme, though only 20% of his college carries came in gap plays (vs. Josh Jacobs' 42-47% in 2024-25). The source believes Johnson's broad shoulders will have to carry the load if the Packers are serious about powering their way to ground game success, and he's shouldered significant burdens before: 20+ carries in 8 of 35 college games, including 35 carries in one game.
