The NY Jets recently signed former Detroit Lions running back Ty Johnson to their active roster.
The NY Jets decided to add an intriguing name to their backfield on Friday claiming former Detroit Lions running back Ty Johnson off waivers. But just what should Jets fans be expecting from Johnson?
The 23-year-old played his college ball at Maryland and held a pretty prominent role in his team’s offense for the better part of his last three years in college.
While he was never able to wrestle away a full-time starting role, Johnson put up eye-popping numbers as part of Maryland’s committee rushing for 1,004 yards and six touchdowns in 2016 on a whopping 9.
