Kansas City Chiefs secara resmi mengumumkan kontrak dengan Emmett Johnson, running back pilihan putaran kelima dalam NFL Draft 2024. Keputusan ini tercantum dalam laporan transaksi NFL pada Senin (10/6).
Johnson menandatangani kontrak empat tahun setelah menunjukkan performa yang mengesankan selama rookie minicamp akhir pekan lalu. Pelatih kepala Andy Reid memberikan pujian khusus kepada Johnson atas kemampuannya sebagai receiver dan pemblokir lulusan.
Reid juga menyebutkan bahwa Johnson memiliki sedikit gaya permainan mirip dengan LeSean McCoy, mantan running back legendaris Chiefs. "Ia memiliki sedikit karakteristik LeSean di permainannya," ujar Reid.
Sebelum bergabung dengan Chiefs, Johnson menghabiskan empat tahun di Universitas Nebraska. Di musim 2023, ia mencatatkan prestasi luar biasa dengan menjadi pemain dengan all-purpose yards per game terbanyak di divisi teratas college football. Ia juga menempati peringkat keempat dengan 1.451 yard rushing.
Dengan kontrak barunya, Johnson diharapkan dapat memberikan kontribusi signifikan di lini ofensif Chiefs, terutama dalam peran sebagai runner dan receiver.
