Patriots' Johnson Seeks Redemption on Gridiron

Scouts are now monitoring his ability to stay healthy and maintain his high level of play throughout the season, particularly in big games against top-ranked opponents. Johnson's redemption story is one to follow as he takes on the best of the best in the Mountain State.
