Packers Add Former Third-Round Edge Rusher D.J. Johnson to Practice Squad
The Packers are taking a look at a former top-100 draft pick with plenty of athletic ability and something to prove.
According to Bill Huber, Green Bay is signing edge rusher D.J. Johnson to its practice squad after bringing him in as part of a five-player workout.
The Panthers selected Johnson 80th overall in the 2023 draft, two picks after the Packers took Tucker Kraft. At 6-foot-4 and 260 pounds, Johnson ran an impressive 4.49-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine after recording six sacks and 8.5 tackles for loss in his final season at Oregon.
