Larry Johnson Builds Relationships With His Current Players and His Future Ones

As Larry Johnson presented Michael Bennett with his national championship ring, the Ohio State defensive line coach paused and revealed what might be his biggest key in being such a successful assistant coach.

"I tell guys this all the time: I never wanna just coach a guy," Johnson said during Ohio State's national championship ring presentation video. "I want to invest in a guy."

Perhaps there's no coach on Ohio State's staff who does that more.

Watch Johnson interact with his players on the Buckeyes' sideline or on the practice field. Watch him after one of his guys makes a big play or comes up with a timely sack.
