Emmett Johnson Drafted By the Kansas City Chiefs
Our beloved Emmett Johnson was selected in the fifth round, the 161st pick overall by the Kansas City Chiefs. I know the Chiefs fans out there are thrilled that Emmitt is going to be on their team. On the other hand there are those who hate the Chefs.
Are you going to start rooting for the Chiefs now or is Emmett Johnson dead to you? Note that the Kansas City roster on ESPN already lists Johnson as RB3, behind Kenneth Walker III, and Emari Demercado. If you’re thinking – where is Isiah Pacheco?
He apparently signed a one-year contract with the Detroit Lions last week. Johnson is the first Nebraska running back to be taken in the draft since 2015. Ameer Abdullah was drafted in 2015.
That’s….. an eon ago. My God, how far have we fallen.
Emmett was the sixth running back selected. Jeremiyah Love of Notre Dame went in the first round. Jadarian Price of Notre Dame also went in the first round.
