Expert Note
View More NotesThe Chiefs selected Emmett Johnson in the fifth round of the NFL Draft. He arrives in Kansas City after a final season in college, where he ranked sixth in missed tackles forced and 52nd in yards per route run and elusive rating (per PFF). Johnson has three-down ability in the NFL after lining up in the slot or out wide with 18% of his snaps in 2025. He's a strong handcuff who should earn the RB2 role for the team behind Kenneth Walker, in short order.
