His songs were often performed by his sister Ella Johnson, most notably 'Since I Fell for You', which became a jazz standard. Whether or not Johnson can get into the mix when it comes to playing time at inside linebacker is anybody’s guess as there was so little of a sample size to draw conclusions from his rookie season.īe sure to check back everyday for another two players for the Steelers, and as we go along click back on previous articles listed below so you don’t miss a thing. Woodrow Wilson 'Buddy' Johnson (Janu February 9, 1977) was an American jump blues pianist and bandleader active from the 1930s through the 1960s. With so many players fighting for a few roster spots, Johnson will first have to play well enough to make the Steelers roster. After being considered a roster lock as a fourth-round draft pick last year, Johnson finds himself more on the bubble as the Steelers invested another draft pick at the position in 2022 in Mark Robinson. Due to not really seeing what Johnson brings, it will be a very interesting preseason in 2022. Dealing with a foot injury late in the season, the Steelers kept Johnson on the active roster up until their Week 18 contest when they placed him on the Reserve/Injured List. Appearing for Steelers in Week 13 and Week 14, Johnson had a total of six defensive snaps on the season with 59 on special teams in four total games. Getting a helmet his first two weeks due to injuries to Robert Spillane and Devin Bush, Johnson only logged 18 special team snaps before having a long stretch until he saw the field again. It was an interesting and likely disappointing season for 2021 fourth-round draft pick Buddy Johnson. With a long road ahead and a very difficult path to making the team, if Jeter can somehow get his name into the mix with the players the Steelers already have on the defensive line, it would be a huge accomplishment.īuddy Johnson Photo by Mitchell Leff/Getty Images Growing up in western Pennsylvania, Jeter signed with the Steelers following the 2022 NFL draft. With players who saw the field for the Steelers in 2021 likely not making the cut, even if the Steelers keep more players than expected, the opportunity for young players to find their way into the league by landing a spot on the Steelers 53-man roster as a defense of lineman is a very difficult path. With the return of Tyson Alualu and the signing of Larry Ogunjobi, the Steelers have a lot of players who have logged snaps f in the past despite the retirement a Stephon Tuitt. The Steelers defensive line room is very crowded. So without further ado, here are today’s two players:ĭonovan Jeter Charles LeClaire-USA TODAY Sports Welcome to Going For Two!
