Johnson, 22, who had a 100th percentile college dominator rating at Nebraska along with a 99th percentile college target share, totaled nearly 1,900 miles in 2025. Kansas City front office officials reportedly could not believe Johnson was still on the board in the fifth round of the 2026 draft.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

KC's hyper-productive college back is one injury away from lead-back role.

Johnson, 22, posted a 100th percentile college dominator rating and 99th percentile college target share at Nebraska, totaling nearly 1,900 yards in 2025; Kansas City front office officials reportedly could not believe he was still available in the fifth round of the 2026 draft. Johnson could be one Ken Walker injury away from serious lead-back run in Patrick Mahomes' offense, though Emari Demercado and pass-catching specialist Breshard Smith could complicate the backfield. ADP: 182 (RB55).
