Minnesota Vikings har officielt præsenteret ny signering: defensive lineman Eric Johnson. Tilslutningen blev annonceret onsdag, og den 27-årige spiller kommer direkte fra Indianapolis Colts.
Johnson tilbragte sidste sæson i Colts, hvor han deltog i 12 kampe. Han var aktiv på 131 defensive snaps og 16 snaps i special teams, og samlet nåede han seks tackles. Johnson blev draftet af Colts i femte runde i 2022 og spillede sine første to sæsoner i Indianapolis.
I 2024 blev han hentet af New England Patriots via waivers inden sæsonstarten. Her nåede han at spille 11 kampe for holdet. I maj 2025 vendte Johnson tilbage til Colts, da de hentede ham via waivers fra Patriots.
Med i alt 51 NFL-kampe bag sig har Johnson akkumuleret 41 tackles, herunder to for tab, én sack, tre quarterback hits og én fumble recovery. Hans erfaring og alsidighed gør ham til en værdifuld tilføjelse til Vikings' defensive enhed.
