Last season, the Green Bay Packers safety was fighting tooth and nail for a roster spot.

This season, the Iowa State product is battling to be a starter.

Johnson was praised earlier in training camp by Packers coach Matt LaFleur for his consistent work in practice.

“He’s had an outstanding camp up to this point,” LaFleur said. “I think it’ a very competition situation (at safety). He’s learned a ton. He’s made a huge jump in my eyes from last season. He’s got to go out and do it against some live bullets in terms of the preseason games.
