The Greatest Journey Man in NFL History | NFL Films Presents

[@ABSF49]

Even as a second and third string quarterback in the NFL. That is still life changing money for most

[@JavierLopez-kb6wq]

Someone on TV> most people working 9 to 5

[@Kenji.Artistry_]

Wait.. for most?!

[@etf42]

is that what you got from the video?

[@Jayden_Dailey]

he's made 10 mill in the nfl

[@MrZachgonz]

You get NFL pension after 3 years. He’s good for life. For his position I think it would amount to like $5K+ a month.

[@crazycruiserweight571]

I can see this man as an Offensive Assistant/Coordinator/QB Coach in the future. He never gave up through the good and the bad times.

[@ethankwan1694]

He must know every offense after being with so many teams and leagues

[@eliwilson3902]

​@@ethankwan1694 I think that's why the eagles offered McCown a coaching job. Just for the fact he can learn offenses quickly and would be great for new players as well as for game plans against systems the DC is unfamiliar with.

[@anthonycamuccio2531]

You have to be extremely affable personality wise to last this long and be wanted by that many teams in any capacity....he must be a solid dude with an exceptional personality This makes my heart smile

[@terrenceolivido741]

he mentioned " appreciation ". there are no superstars on a team - everything that everone does affects the result. a great team will beat a few superstars on the opposing team. in fact, without the " team " thing - at least for white people - there is something lacking. the blacks are generally more individual-istic. you heard a little truth here.

[@tmacfan824]

what kind of f*g take is this? He is just a rich dude. Get a grip.

[@jamaltaylor5]

He deserves to be on somebody's staff when he's finally done. He could give younger guys gems of knowledge

[@TheAlfrulz]

Those three minutes he spent rehashing his career timeline has got to be the zaniest single shot interview from NFL Films since Walt Garrisons poem "People are funny critters". But I do remember Johnson best from his senior year of college at San Diego. He put up an insane TD to INT ratio of 43:1.

[@oregonadam6367]

I wish this guy all the best. I’m certain he has a long and fruitful career in football post-playing career as a coach ahead. With the work ethic and dedication to the sport that he has.

[@ryanmarshall3487]

I’ve been following Josh Johnson since ‘06, when my buddies on Drake Univ. football team got back from playing San Diego, and were talking about how this dude was way different than anything they’ve ever seen. Then seeing a guy from the Patriot League getting drafted, gave sense of pride to alumni all over that conference.

[@r.williamcomm7693]

Love the way he throws the ball. Has he always had that smooth throwing motion since you’ve followed him?

[@gatienlaurol5793]

In case anyone is wondering, the other four active players from the 2008 Draft: 1. Joe Flacco 2. Calais Campbell 3. Duane Brown 4. Matthew Slater

[@joshuabrown2134]

🐐

[@BrodiepeinsTV]

NFL Films struck gold with this one! I’ve always thought he was under appreciated. He didn’t get a fair shake given some decent play in some of the franchises he’s played for but it’s no wonder why longevity is the topic of discussion.

[@onewayred3506]

The travel fees for this must have been insane 😂

[@ysn12288]

I remember i would always build a madden franchise around him back in Madden 11 and 12 😂 Cheap, easy to trade for and would actually progess into a stud lol

[@Kpt.Krunch]

JJ is a good dude. His cousin used to cut my hair in Pinole, Ca. He would slide and pay for everybody’s cuts in the shop all the time. He’s got a good soul man. Wish him nothing but blessings 🙏🏿

[@1BrianSawyer]

He played well for the Redskins after Alex Smith went down. That was a rough situation to walk in to.

[@reggiesmith4132]

He really did had they started him sooner and not mark Sanchez they might’ve even made the playoffs that year.

[@nelspas0191]

I was at the first game he started for the redskins. He balled out

[@anthonyalarcon4965]

A journey man and road trip! This guy played for different leagues and teams and never gave up!

[@NotForLongNFL]

Based on NFL minimum salaries, Josh earns nearly $65,000 for every week he's on a team. I see why he wants to keep playing!

[@donovan4437]

yea but bro also just wants to play football, why else would he play with teams outside the NFL

[@panicatthe6isco]

after taxes, agent, maybe some lawyers and other things prob not a lot left over. Not saying he broke either.

[@ysoserious784]

He’s made almost 11 million over 15 seasons.

[@Therap3]

Crazy journey he's had in the nfl. It's a shame he got injured with us in the NFCC game.

[@palepa15]

Ultimate pro. Well done on your perseverance! Hope you land a coaching or back office role based on your experience.

[@newagain9964]

Racist NFL owners not gonna make him a HC 🙄. He would have be OC for YEARS then be very lucky for those 2 teams that do to have an opening

[@dre32pitt]

Josh Johnson and Ish Smith need to start a pod together.. 'We Get Around..' . With a nod to Tupac on the intro, lol.

[@JBTriple8]

Jaromir Jagr should join the pod as well

[@dre32pitt]

[@redbarnkid]

He’s gonna coach for a long time

[@TonyDuran18HD]

Dudes so humble

[@johnthecrouton]

Wow, just wow…what an incredible story!

[@kb7951]

The Goat . Says a lot about his character that teams want him in the locker room and around yr after yr

[@BIGNA281]

Crazyy he never got a chip at the right time!🏆🥇🏈

[@bellzo5]

Boy his journey sound like an old head naming all the jails he went too

[@JahNuhThunDeeTheOneAndOnly]

*Best journeymen in NFL history* Steve DeBerg Ryan Fitzpatrick Josh McCown Brandon Marshall And finally Josh Johnson

[@mat-sd7eh]

but what about rb? cb? lb and so on with other positions

[@eliwilson3902]

Fitzpatrick was nuts because of how smart he was. I still feel like he understands football better than most coaches and that's why he was successful. Fitzpatrick started a lot more than most these guys though. Guy literally has a degree from Harvard and put it to work playing professional football.

[@Openbookethic]

Tyrod Taylor will be there one day

[@joshuabrown2134]

​@@Openbookethiche said he's retiring.. I wish the giants started him

[@KeepinTheFaith]

I watched Josh play in college against UC Davis in 2007. His numbers weren't off the charts, but I was blown away watching him. The stats didn't show how dominant he was and the different level he was on. Have followed his entire career just based on that one time I watched him in college.

[@focusedgrind3784]

California dudes just have a swagger about themselves. Dude is backup's backup, a certified journeyman with the utmost confidence.

[@TookahSmokin]

Dang that’s crazy their family got a couple nfl players, Marshawn, Marcus Peters, and Him that’s dope

[@AGYMAH]

Not to mention Damian Lillard is related to them also.

[@frost-lx9by]

I was a little kid when he first came in the league crazy hope he gets to play for how as he wants to

[@TrueBreadGetterTv]

I loved playing with this dude on madden, he was a beast if you knew how to use him

[@Reecesavage-Alwayswin]

Dude look like he about 23 or 24 and he said 37.

[@willardmatsaudza3101]

If never give up was a person.

[@Defendingfootball]

UFL Always has room for you Josh ❤‍🔥

[@instantbadass]

I always wanted him to do well because I share the same name!

[@itisnottaken4444]

He’s going to make a great coach one day. Could see him as an O coordinator for a contender in the future

[@Porthos240]

I really thought he would show a little something during the NFCCG last year. Without the injury, I really believe he could've kept us in there.

[@Azmade7]

Came in and acted like he never played a game in his entire NFL career smh

[@dennisallen8333]

It would be nice for him to be on a superbowl winning team.

[@markyang6751]

i just googled how much money he's made in the NFL. He's made 9.3mil in 14 years. that's pretty good I'd say.

[@thepatsnumber1fan]

I can only imagine how his closet looks with all the team gear

[@CpapPapi]

He gonna end up being a coach

[@ogkenbone_]

Love this dude

[@jonesisnotarobot]

San Diego Fleet legend Josh Johnson

[@terrenceolivido741]

a quarterback that still has a healthy body at 37 - well, you would think this guy would be the best because of the long long practice and mental evolution. if the team is good, the quaterback just needs to execute correctly the plays. he does not need to have the strongest arm. there are so many subtleties at any position. i can see why many teams would bring this guy in as a third backup.

[@ieronimo18]

He knows a lot of restaurants and is an expert at luggage and how to pack.

[@joshuabrown2134]

Names Josh. Favorite number 2.. I'm taking this as a sign...and man ilove the harboughs... #Ravens #Lions Stand up..

Damn i thought he was out the league,the nfl has been disrespecting this man,but never the less he has made some good money over the years

[@aroneldridge6249]

Everytime i got a new madden game back in the day, I'd create a team and he was always my qb. Id sign him as a FA, even if he was signed id trade a 1st rounder if need be. My dude came through in Madden 11

[@untexan]

I once heard or read that Jon Gruden’s plan was to make Josh the starting QB going into 2009. Then he got fired (a horrible decision in hindsight, the Bucs didn’t make the playoffs at all in the 2010s) and the journey began.

[@joshuabrown2134]

They went with that guy from Kansas state.. terrible decision

[@stingrey1571]

Players get cut all the time. We only hear about the big names. No one ever thinks about the lower depth chart guys. When superstar x gets hurt. The team signs a guy to fill a spot in the roster. When X comes back, guess who gets cut.

[@ss4austin]

Coach material right here

[@ianbisek9077]

I was serving at a restaurant in the bay and I was serving marshawn and josh and I was always wondering why I saw em together so frequently even though they were on different teams. Just now found out cousins both from Oakland
