Lane Johnson embraces the elephant in the room.
If it’s not careful, he might eat it.
After positive tests for performance-enhancing drugs (PED) earned him a four-game suspension in 2014 and a 10-game suspension last year, Johnson has proudly become a something of a nutrition nerd. Most players who pop twice and face a 2-year suspension are reluctant to talk about it.

They drafted Johnson fourth overall in 2013 and immediately inserted him at right tackle, where he progressed nicely.
