Professional career

2008–2009

edit

He was selected by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with the 25th pick of the fifth round (160th overall) in 2008 NFL draft.[13]

Johnson made his first appearance in a regular season NFL game on September 27, 2009, at Tampa's Raymond James Stadium against the New York Giants. When Johnson replaced Byron Leftwich as Tampa Bay's quarterback with 9:33 remaining, the Buccaneers had accumulated only 35 total yards and one first down against the favored Giants. Taking his first pro snap, Johnson found Antonio Bryant for 6 yards, marking the afternoon's first reception by a Tampa Bay wide receiver. Johnson ran for 15 yards and added three more completions for 30 yards as the Buccaneers finished with 86 yards in a 24–0 loss. Johnson drove the Buccaneers from their own 24 to the New York five-yard line in his only possession. One of Johnson's passes zipped through Michael Clayton's hands in the end zone.[14] Johnson was named the starting quarterback on September 28, 2009, and earned his first career start on October 4, 2009, in a 16–13 loss to Washington. He threw his first career touchdown pass to Antonio Bryant on his first pass of the game.[15]

2010

Washington Redskins

edit

On December 5, 2018, Johnson signed a one-year contract with the Redskins to be a backup to Mark Sanchez after season-ending injuries to Colt McCoy and Alex Smith.[55] Johnson said he played a Madden NFL video game to help learn the names of his new teammates.[56]

On December 9, 2018, Johnson appeared in his first game after Sanchez was benched against the Giants in the third quarter of a 40–16 loss. It was Johnson's first appearance in an NFL game since 2013 with the Bengals.[57] He finished the game completing 11 passes from 16 attempts for 195 yards, one touchdown (his first touchdown since 2011 with the Buccaneers) and an interception. He also rushed for 45 yards and his first career rushing touchdown on seven attempts.[58] After the game, it was announced that Johnson would be the starter for the next game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The game resulted in a 16–13 victory, his first career win as a starting quarterback in the NFL.[59] The following game, on December 22, 2018, Johnson and the Redskins faced the Tennessee Titans in a crucial Week 16 match-up to maintain their playoff hopes. Despite leading for most of the game, Washington's defense allowed a costly go-ahead touchdown with about four minutes remaining in the fourth quarter. Down 19–16, Johnson attempted to lead the Redskins down the field for a potential game-tying drive, but was intercepted first by safety Kevin Byard and then by Malcolm Butler after the Redskins managed to get the ball back with 14 seconds remaining. Washington would go on to lose 25–16, essentially ending their playoff chances. Johnson finished 13-of-23 with 153 yards, 1 touchdown, and 2 interceptions.[60] He started the Week 17 finale against the Philadelphia Eagles.

As a result, Johnson was named the highest graded quarterback in the XFL by Pro Football Focus.[68] He had his contract terminated when the league suspended operations on April 10, 2020.[69]

edit

On August 4, 2021, Johnson signed with the Jets.[75] He was released on August 31, 2021, and re-signed to the practice squad the next day.[76][77] After starting quarterback Zach Wilson suffered a sprained posterior cruciate ligament in Week 7, Johnson was elevated to the active roster as the second option behind Mike White. While White was being evaluated for a potential injury in the following week's game against the Bengals, Johnson took the field during the third quarter, his first NFL appearance since 2018. He completed 2 of 4 passes for 17 yards, setting up a game-tying field goal, before White returned on New York's next possession. The Jets subsequently won 34–31.[78] In the Week 9 matchup against the Colts, Johnson again relieved an injured White during the Jets second drive. He threw for a career high 317 passing yards and three touchdowns, but was also intercepted on New York's final drive in the 30–45 defeat.[79] He was reverted to the Jets' practice squad following the game against the Colts.[80]

Baltimore Ravens (second stint)

edit

On December 15, 2021, Johnson was signed from the Jets' practice squad by the Ravens.[81] He was forced into the starting role in Week 16 against the Bengals due to Lamar Jackson having an ankle injury and Tyler Huntley testing positive for COVID-19.[82] He went 28 for 40 for 304 yards and two touchdowns and an interception and also rushed for 10 yards, but the Ravens lost the game 21–41.[83]

San Francisco 49ers (fourth stint)

edit

On December 4, 2022, Johnson was signed to the 49ers active roster after a foot injury to quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.[88] On January 29, 2023, Johnson played in his first playoff game in the NFC Championship Game against the Eagles in relief of injured quarterback Brock Purdy, who tore his ulnar collateral ligament.[89][90] Johnson exited the game after sustaining a concussion in the third quarter and was replaced by the injured Purdy.[91] He completed 7 passes on 13 attempts for 74 yards with a lost fumble in the 31–7 loss.[92]

Baltimore Ravens (third stint)

edit

On May 22, 2023, Johnson signed with the Ravens.[93] He was released on August 29, but was re-signed two days later. The Ravens released Johnson for a second time on September 23, but again re-signed him two days later.[94] He was the third-string quarterback behind Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley and did not make an appearance during the regular season or postseason.[95]

On March 14, 2024, Johnson re-signed with the Ravens.[96] He ended being second on the depth chart behind Jackson after Huntley signed with the Cleveland Browns during the offseason. His first action of the season came in the fourth quarter of Week 4 in a 35–10 blowout win over the Buffalo Bills. He handed off to Derrick Henry twice before throwing one-yard pass to him with the drive ending with a punt.[97]
