        Emmett Johnson RB KC

        Can RB Emmett Johnson Become the Chiefs No. 2 RB?

        Can RB Emmett Johnson Become the Chiefs No. 2 RB?

        The Kansas City Chiefs selected Nebraska RB Emmett Johnson in Round 5 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Johnson’s college path wasn’t linear. He arrived as an overlooked recruit, redshirted, and then climbed past veteran competition before losing touches in 2024. Even in a split backfield, his receiving stood out, culminating in a 39-catch season that foreshadowed a larger role. When Nebraska committed fully in 2025, Johnson responded with 1,451 rushing yards and a class-high 46 receptions. Among the 20 RBs invited to the NFL Combine, Johnson ranked first in 2025 rushing market share (82.4%), and 15th in yards after contact per attempt (2.95). He ranked fourth in 2025 missed tackles forced per attempt (0.27) and sixth in receiving yards per route run (1.27). He is currently 22 years old.

        The Chiefs are signing RB Kenneth Walker III, according to multiple reports (including his own X feed).

        Seahawks RB George Holani and TE Elijah Arroyo have been activated from IR for Sunday's NFC Championship vs. the Rams. Holani figures to step in as the No. 2 RB with Zach Charbonnet out, although we'd be surprised if he got more than a handful of touches behind Ken Walker. Arroyo also figures to play a bit role behind lead A.J. Barner but adds some juice to the TE room. The rookie averaged 11.9 yards per catch during the regular season.
