With many Aggies in the NFL, it’s always a treat when a former player can answer a few questions from a familiar face. Rookie safety Antonio Johnson got a few minutes away from his busy training camp schedule to talk with David Nuño with TexAgs.
Johnson sat longer than expected on Draft weekend as he was mocked anywhere from the late first to the third round. To the surprise of many Aggie fans, the Jacksonville Jaguars did not call his name until the fifth round on day three.
While he does carry a small chip on his shoulder, due to this, it’s not something that he is obsessed with; he explained when talking with Nuño.
Being taken later in the draft put a chip on my shoulder, but that’s in the past. Once you get here, everyone is in the league. I want to prove myself to everybody. I was blessed with an opportunity to hear the Jaguars call my name.
It’s still early in camp, and Johson will take a few days to get accustomed to the NFL way of life, but he already has an excellent grasp of what it takes to be successful in this league. For the full interview, visit TexAgs for a listen.
