Will Johnson is entering his fourth season with the Pittsburgh Steelers after signing with the team a year removed from college as an undrafted free agent. He initially won the job for the fullback position during the preseason by default when David Johnson, who converted from tight end, tore his ACL.
Since then, the Steelers have been slowly transitioning Will Johnson more and more to the role of tight end, to the point where the majority of his 200-some snaps that he took during the 2014 season were served in that role, as an in-line blocking tight end, most often in 11 personnel sets.
