Johnson tore his ACL twice, and he was also run over by a forklift which forced him to be hospitalized. Last year, Johnson dealt with a hamstring injury that sidelined him for the entire 2016 season.
In three seasons at Michigan, Johnson ran for 641 yards and eight touchdowns, and he caught another two touchdowns. He last appeared in the Citrus Bowl on Jan. 1, 2016, where he ran for 58 yards and a touchdown in Michigan's win over Florida.
