How’d he get to The Blue™?

Mr. Johnson was a three-star recruit coming out of high school. He was all over the field at CB, QB, S, and WR. That’s a lot of moving around.

He had offers from Georgetown, Navy, Colorado State, Utah State, and UNLV (among some others). But he chose a team that had something those others didn’t: us!

Nickname

“Franklin”

Wouldn’t be us though.

Look-alike

Fast and Furious star Tyrese Gibson

Career Highlights

For the Broncos, nothing yet. But he did appear in two games last year.

2024 Prospectus

I’ve mentioned a couple of other times that making it on the field as a CB is super hard. And when you’ve got some Dudes in front of you who can ball, it makes that an even greater challenge. Looking forward to Mr. Johnson getting smore snaps next season (hopefully for not injury-related reasons) and adding some more to the career highlights section.

Is he on Twitter?

Completely made up fact

An aspiring home inspector (Johnson likes to make sure people are getting the right value out of their house) he will often double-check a home’s fire alarms as well. He will even swap out the batteries!
