Anthony Johnson
Anthony Johnson started his NFL career with the Dolphins in 2014 as an undrafted free agent. However, the former LSU star ended up on the season-ending reserve by December of that year, and then he was cut in 2015 training camp. Johnson bounced over to the Washington Redskins for a brief spell late in 2015 before the Patriots signed him.
Considering Johnson’s tumultuous past with the Dolphins, you can bet that he is just a little motivated to put up a big game against his former team. Look, this is not the same Johnson that the Dolphins cut a year ago and that bounced around the Redskins’ practice squad in December of 2015; he has lost weight and regained the lethal speed that made him so good in college.
