Former USF Star Johnson Went From Catching Fish to Carving Out NFL Career

TAMPA, OCT. 11, 2020 – From reeling in fish for a living to reaching the pinnacle of pro football, former USF standout D'Ernest Johnson has relentlessly chased his NFL dream and it's paying off.

Signed by Cleveland as an undrafted free agent in 2019, Johnson seized the opportunity he's spent years praying and preparing for last Sunday. On a massive stage at AT&T Stadium, Johnson led all rushers with a career-high 95 yards in three quarters of the Browns' 49-38 win over the Dallas Cowboys.

"After the game, I was like, 'Man, look how far I've come. Look what God has done,'" said Johnson during a phone interview Monday. "Two years ago, I didn't know what I was gonna do."

What's transpired since 2018 is a tale that could easily be turned into a Hollywood movie script.

Heading to Tampa from his hometown of Immokalee, Fla., Johnson initially helped propel the Bulls back into the national picture as a very humble star.

From 2014-17, the versatile running back racked up a school record 4,186 all-purpose yards, including 1,796 rushing yards (4.3 ypc). The 2017 USF graduate also set top program receiving marks for a running back with 73 receptions for 909 yards.

Great story and sad all at the same time. 

Way to work Mr. Johnson

Humble, sacrificing team player.  I’ll take 22 please.

Gotta love players like him who bust their ass and leave it all on the field. You also have to respect how he never gave up on his dream.
