Last week against the Seahawks, Johnson provided a ton of proof for why the Vikings used a fourth-round pick on him in the most recent NFL Draft.

The rookie defensive tackle was consistently causing disruption in Seattle’s offensive backfield and he made a number of impressive tackles (five to be exact) that played a part in holding the Seahawks to only six points in the second half. If he continues his high level of play on Sunday versus the 49ers, then Johnson could possibly sneak himself into a contributing role on Minnesota’s defense this year.
