Bijan Robinson's Texas teammate Roschon Johnson impresses ahead of NFL Draft
Johnson suffers head injury in nationally televised game
Texas running back Roschon Johnson suffered a head injury in the second quarter of Thursday's nationally televised game against Alabama. He was tackled hard by Alabama linebacker Henry To'oTo'o and did not return to the game.
Johnson's injury could impact his NFL Draft stock
Johnson is considered one of the top running back prospects in the 2023 NFL Draft. He rushed for 1,150 yards and 15 touchdowns in 2021 and was expected to have a big role in Texas' offense this season. However, his injury could impact his draft stock, as teams may be hesitant to select a player with a history of head injuries.
Johnson's injury could open the door for Bijan Robinson
With Johnson out, Texas will likely turn to Bijan Robinson to carry the load in the backfield. Robinson is a five-star recruit who is considered one of the best running backs in the country. He has rushed for 1,041 yards and 15 touchdowns in his first two seasons at Texas. If Robinson can perform well in Johnson's absence, he could increase his chances of being selected in the first round of the NFL Draft.
Johnson's injury is a reminder of the risks involved in playing football. Head injuries are a serious issue, and they can have a lasting impact on a player's health. It is important to remember that football is a game, and it is not worth risking your health for.
