Restricted free agent running back D’Ernest Johnson is everything the Browns value in a player, and now they’ll have a chance to keep him if the price if right.
CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Restricted free agent running back D’Ernest Johnson is everything the Browns value in a player, and now they’ll have a chance to keep him if the price is right.
In 2021, Johnson was given three chances to serve as the Browns’ workhorse back, and he excelled each time. The first was during the 17-14 victory over the Broncos, when he rushed for 146 yards while Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt were both out. “Chubb and I joked actually about D’Ernest’s and I’s connection more so than me and him,’' Keenum said while laughing after the victory. “I will ride with this guy any day. He is a worker. He sat at home all week [while on the reserve/COVID-19 list], showed up today for work and brought it. ... He works his tail off, and he deserves everything that is coming to him.”
Johnson, who worked on a fishing boat in Florida reeling in mahi mahi before catching on with the Orlando Apollos, earned the respect last season of his teammates and coaches for his work ethic, talent and attitude.
