He caught on with the Texans and spent the season on the practice squad. Houston brought him back on a futures deal for 2025 but cut him with an injury designation in August.
During his five-year college career, Johnson caught 26 passes for 329 yards and two touchdowns while adding 44 carries for another 353 yards and a touchdown in 54 career games.
