Florida Atlantic quarterback De’Andre Johnson never doubted himself.
Despite what doctors told him, he always knew he would return to the football field. Johnson made good on his promise when the Owls opened spring practice Tuesday.
After missing all but one game last season because of blood clots in his arm, he was once again under center and competing for the starting spot.
“The doctors said he didn’t know if I’d play, but I was always determined to get back out here,” Johnson said. “I knew I’d get back eventually, just ain’t know when.”
It was Johnson’s first practice in more than six months.
