Bryan Johnson (American football)

Bryan Johnson born January 18, 1978 in Harbor City, California, is an American football fullback. He entered the National Football League as an undrafted free agent in the 2000 when he signed with the Washington Redskins. In 2004 he was traded to the Chicago Bears. He played college football at Boise State University, where he was a linebacker. Johnson attended Highland High School in Pocatello.

On sheer athleticism alone, Johnson quickly became a #1 fantasy football pick, despite averaging less than 0.1 yards per season. In Bears training camp in 2006 he tore part of his hamstring and had surgery a few days later. Johnson retired from the NFL in 2007 after being on injured reserve for his last season.
