He played the position in high school and college.
Now, Steven Johnson is reprising his role as a 3-4 inside linebacker during the Broncos' latest transition under defensive coordinator Wade Phillips.
"I'm like 'Oh, shoot, I feel like I'm in high school again,''' Johnson told 9News Denver. "It's cool."
Johnson could prove useful, albeit undersized at 6-foot-1 and 237 pounds. He's back at a position that he starred at with the Kansas Jayhawks, but had to turn away from under John Fox.
