On the NFL football field, Johnson has been a disappointment the last two seasons after two fantastic years in 2005 and 2006. In those two campaigns, Johnson combined for 37 touchdowns and more than 3500 rushing yards. In the last two seasons, the 6-foot-1, 230 pound running back has only eight touchdowns and less than 1600 yards rushing.
According to the terms of his probation, Johnson will have to perform 40 hours of community service, attend anger management classes and won’t be allowed to visit night spots in the Kansas City area after 9:00 PM.
The NFL hasn’t announced whether Johnson will face further punishment after pleading guilty.
