They gave Bowling Green quarterback Matt Johnson the Sammy Baugh Award for being the best passer in college football last year, but he wasn’t very surprised that no NFL team called and he ended up in Bengals rookie minicamp undrafted.
“Probably size and playing in the spread offense I’m sure that didn’t help in the eyes of the NFL scouts,” said Johnson Friday before minicamp’s first practice. “I got my shot here. That’s all that matters.”
Never mind he’s just 6-0. That doesn’t help, but what really doesn’t help is he estimates he took 30 snaps from underneath center.
