XB Xavier Johnson (Buffalo Bills)



Johnson said he hasn’t taken any reps at running back since Pryor went down, but he would make the adjustment if the coaching staff asked him to.

“I've been a part of five teams now, and I would say that this is definitely one of the teams that has the most love, most chemistry. So just for that reason and that reason alone, shoot, I would ask the Lord for strength to help me through the situation and then go in there and get my notebook out, my iPad out and figure out exactly what they need me to do,” Johnson said. “I'm just here to kind of help the team win and glorify the Lord by doing it.”

Just the 1,138th-ranked recruit in the nation when he entered the program, Johnson's dedication to the success of the team – even if it occasionally comes at his own expense –has garnered Johnson no shortage of admiration from his teammates and coaching staff.

Just sayin': Sounds like a "great team player". Whether it is on the 2nd team, 3rd team, or the scout team; you need players like that to win championships.

I love how Day and Wilson used the X Man in the running game against Sparty. Very creative and very effective.

I am loving it too, this kid is talented and that helps prep for the worst case scenario of injuries at RB. Not saying we can't throw him out there in any scenario to carry (or catch) the ball, but I think X can step up if needed at RB. I am growing pretty confident of options at RB in a doomsday scenario after being concerned when Pryor got injured for the season. Obviously having Henderson and Miyan healthy is ideal, but Hayden, X and maybe even Caffey seem like they could come in and get the job done if needed.

You could also throw Chip Trayanum in there as well

ON XAVIER JOHNSON, THE DEPTH IN THE RECEIVER ROOM
  • “It’s always the small things that add up. The way that Xavier prepares… he does a great job, and the way he goes about his business says a lot about him.”
  • Hartline said Ohio State’s depth in the receiver room is special. He said “it’s harder and harder to maintain” in today’s college football, but the Buckeyes are blessed to have as much talent as they do.
