The last two months have been a whirlwind of activity for former Kansas State forward D.J. Johnson.
Since NFL teams surprisingly showed interest in the 6-foot-9 physical big man after five years of college basketball, Johnson has trained like a football player. He has learned the ins and outs of defensive end and attended the Chicago Bears’ rookie minicamp.
Now, in what figured to be his down time, he is touring the Sunflower State and meeting K-State fans as part of the school’s annual Catbackers Tour.
But things are about to get simpler.
“It will be pretty hard to get on a 90-man roster for NFL training camp,” Johnson said this week.
