Career History

Johnson went undrafted in 2022 and signed with the Houston Texans on April 30, 2022. Over the following three seasons he cycled repeatedly between the practice squad and reserve/future contracts, signing new practice-squad deals with Houston in January of 2023, 2024, and 2025, and appearing in just two NFL games in total before being waived/injured in August 2025. In May 2026 he signed with the Saskatchewan Roughriders of the CFL, joining the team’s practice roster.

How They Built Their Wealth
