Johnson is next-in-line after Walker; lacks elite metrics but injury-dependent upside.

The fifth-round pick landed with the Chiefs but was initially considered a long-shot given Kenneth Walker's monster offseason deal as the featured back and Kansas City's typical preference for veteran depth. However, the team released Emari Demercado at cutdown and signed no veteran replacement, leaving Johnson just one injury away from significant workload. At 22 years old, Johnson lacks attractive workout metrics (4.56 40-yard dash, 7.32 cone drill), but sits as the next option after Walker, who dealt with a foot injury in training camp and has played just one full season in his four-year career.
