Rookie Johnson learning pass protection technique, trailing Demarcado for third-down role.

Rookie Emmett Johnson is competing for the third-down back role with Kansas City but is currently behind Demarcado in the depth chart battle. Andy Reid noted Johnson is "learning as he goes" and needs to improve his pad level in pass protection, saying "You go in high at this level, you're going to get rearranged." Johnson's lack of experience and technical refinement in pass protection gives Demarcado the edge in the current competition.
