Ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft, Bieniemy called Jones-Drew to get his opinion on the running backs in this class. When Bieniemy asked him about the prospects he liked, Jones-Drew opined about Nebraska RB Emmett Johnson.<\/p>\n
\u201c(Eric) Bieniemy calls me. My guy,\u201d Jones-Drew said. \u201cAnd he\u2019s like, \u2018Hey, bro, I see these running back lists, what\u2019s going on?\u2019 And he\u2019s like, \u2018Who do you like?\u2019 I was like, \u2018Bro, I love Nebraska. I love Nebraska.\u2019 I said, \u2018Emmett Johnson from Nebraska.\u2019 And see, here goes a little history for you. When I was coming out of college, it was a bunch of us, right? I had such a good year that they created a position for All-American that year, so I could be All-American because I was returning kicks and punts. Three different ways, right? I had returned punts and kicks forr touchdowns, I had receiving touchdowns, and I had rushing touchdowns. But that\u2019s like, no one really did that. Like Reggie Bush did it a little bit, but it was really like not many others did it. So, when I go back, and I look, Emmett Johnson won that same award.\u201d<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t just the All-Purpose All-American honors that caught Jones-Drew\u2019s attention about Johnson, though. It was also about the way he plays the game. Also, it doesn\u2019t hurt that Johnson had 31 touches for 232 yards and three touchdowns against Jones-Drew\u2019s alma mater.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft, Bieniemy called Jones-Drew to get his opinion on the running backs in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":900775,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2063],"tags":[6190,346,7,118,110,922,2438,2437,6],"class_list":["post-900774","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-kansas-city-chiefs","tag-arrowheadlines","tag-chiefs","tag-football","tag-kansas-city","tag-kansas-city-chiefs","tag-kansas-city-chiefs-news","tag-kansascity","tag-kansascitychiefs","tag-nfl"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116634790374460981","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/900774","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=900774"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/900774\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/900775"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=900774"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=900774"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=900774"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
