Chris Johnson Jr. Elevates Pass Protection | Clemson Tigers Football News

Chris Johnson Jr. is turning heads at Clemson—not just as a runner, but as a game-changer in pass protection. Transferred from Miami and SMU, he’s been laser-focused on blocking this summer, proving his toughness and fearlessness despite not being the biggest guy. Coach Dabo Swinney raves about his willingness to take hits for the team, which opens up new offensive possibilities. Positioned behind Gideon Davidson as the change-of-pace back, Johnson’s improved pass blocking makes him far more versatile and valuable. His growth exemplifies how focusing on team needs can elevate a player—and potentially reshape Clemson’s offense this season.
