Jadar Johnson struggled with depression, slept on former Clemson teammate's couch leading up to arrest | The State

About seven months before Jadar Johnson and C.J. Fuller were two of the three men arrested in an armed robbery, Fuller was working to help Johnson recover from one of the most challenging situations of his life.

Johnson, a former safety at Clemson, was depressed and sleeping on the Clemson running back’s couch after abruptly retiring from pro football last July during the New York Giants training camp.

But thanks in part to Fuller's help, Johnson was at Clemson’s Pro Day March 15, working out for NFL teams in an effort to return to the football field.
