Former UNC QB Ben Johnson: From Chapel Hill to the Windy City

Posted Jun 21, 2025

I certainly knew him as the offensive mastermind of the Detroit Lions, who along with coach Dan Campbell resurrected the franchise and turned them into a premier NFC team. It turns out Johnson was a backup walk-on. (Inside Carolina)
