Johnson was a third-round draft pick by the Packers in 1979, but did not make the 1981 team when Terry Jones became a starter. After a stint with the Philadelphia Eagles on the injured reserved list in 1982, and being cut from their 1983 team, Johnson rejoined the Packers in September 1983 for the 1983 season.[1][2][3]
