The number of players who have scored multiple touchdowns for the Michigan Wolverines is pretty finite four games into the season. Only three Wolverines have done so — two of them are running backs, and the other is cornerback Will Johnson.

Johnson has made a considerable impact on the scoreboard this season. With two interceptions returned for touchdowns, he has made his presence well known. After an All-American sophomore season where he had 27 tackles and four interceptions, one of which was a pick-six, the bar has only gotten higher for him.

Now the bar is so high that he recently revealed in an interview the possibility of playing on offense has been discussed to not only help that side of the ball, but for him to make a run at the Heisman Trophy.
