The New England Patriots selected Johnson in the fourth round of the 1993 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n
However, the Patriots released him in August of that same year.<\/p>\n
Johnson made his debut with the Eagles in 1995, which would be his best campaign.<\/p>\n
He recorded six sacks, 19 tackles, and a fumble recovery for a touchdown in 11 games.<\/p>\n
