Johnson's athletic instincts and special teams development praised by Reid.

Rookie running back made an athletic lateral play to rookie safety Xavier Nwankpa to finish off Araiza's game-icing punt in the fourth quarter. Andy Reid praised Johnson's 'great instincts' and noted he is still learning and growing as a special-teams player under special teams coordinator Dave Toub and assistant coach Porter Ellett. Johnson is working special teams while also handling running back duties, a dual role that is developing under coaching direction.
