What theyโre sayingโฆ
โWhenever they call my name Iโve got to be ready.โ (8/21/12)
Chris Johnson, UF running back
โI'm an athlete. I just want to play football and be on the field.โ (8/16/12)
Chris Johnson, UF running back
โYou can tell heโs an athlete. He has a nose for the ball and he finds it real well. Heโs still new to the position but heโs learning. Heโs one of those guys that can play both (linebacker and safety). He loves to hit and I think thatโs why they brought him into the box.โ (8/18/11)
Jon Bostic, UF linebacker
โChris Johnson from Trinity is a very physical player, in the box safety. He's shown skills to play outside in the deep part of the field.โ (2/2/11)
Will Muschamp, UF Head Coach
โIt feels amazing. It's a wonderful experience, something that I dreamed about as a kid. I'm just proud to be a part of the University of Florida. I can't wait to get up there. I always knew (UF) was where I wanted to be. I just want to learn. A lot of guys get the big head and get too cocky, so I want to go up there be humble and learn what I've got to do. If I've got to sit back and wait on playing time, then that's what I'll do. I'm going to do whatever it takes to get on that field.โ (2/2/11)
Chris Johnson, UF running back
