Leon Johnson loves playing on the offensive line

He’s a 6-foot-5, 315-pound yoga-bending, dreads-wearing, basketball-dunking offensive tackle.

And while he won’t need those specific skills (or great hair!) on the field, some flexibility and spring from a lineman certainly won’t be discouraged by the coaches.

“Oh yeah, once I learned the benefits of yoga, I was 100 percent on board,” Johnson said, adding that he began including yoga in his weekly workout regimen during college and has continued since.

But when it comes to his mindset about football, Johnson is every bit the prototype because his love for the sport stems from his love of the teamwork required.
