When Michigan Wolverines cornerback Will Johnson was recovering from a knee injury this offseason, it was a test of resilience, patience and leadership. Sidelines aren’t where any athlete envisions themselves, but it’s where he was at the first three weeks of the season.
“I really just had an injury this offseason, and I just wanted to be cautious and make sure I was ready to go,” Johnson admitted to the media Tuesday evening.
In a sport where there’s enormous pressure to perform at peak levels every game, it’s challenging to sideline oneself, especially when that player is the top cornerback for the No.
