Montrell Johnson

23-Year-Old Running BackRB
2025 Fantasy Outlook
A physical back coming off a fairly productive career at Florida, Johnson went undrafted in 2025 due to a lack of passing-down skills and a leg injury that limited him to nine games with the Gators last season, but he was snapped up as a priority free agent by the Eagles. Johnson could be an asset in short yardage given his violent running style and penchant for plowing through contact, but he'll begin his career buried on the depth chart behind Saquon Barkley, Will Shipley and AJ Dillon.

January 12, 2026
The Panthers signed Johnson to a reserve/future contract Monday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Johnson signed with Philadelphia as an undrafted free agent last April and later got a look from the Cardinals before catching on with Carolina's practice squad in mid-December. The Florida product didn't see any regular-season action this season, but he'll now have a chance to show the Panthers what he can do during upcoming offseason activities.
