Montrell Johnson

22-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.

Leading rusher in preseason loss
RBPhiladelphia Eagles
August 16, 2025
Johnson carried the ball six times for 20 yards in Saturday's 22-13 preseason loss to the Browns.
ANALYSIS
The undrafted rookie out of Florida missed time at the end of training camp due to a minor hamstring strain, but Johnson suited up Saturday and was the second running back into the game for the Eagles after AJ Dillon. Johnson ended up leading Philadelphia in rushing yards on a poor day overall for the offense, although he failed to convert a two-point conversion late in the second quarter, but the most important takeaway was that he showed he was healthy. He's unlikely to crack the gameday roster for Week 1, but given their similar early-down skill sets, Johnson could find himself stashed on the practice squad in case Dillon isn't able to stay on the field after he missed the entire 2024 campaign with Green Bay due to neck issues.
