The story of Josh Johnson's career:

Good enough to make a NFL roster or get added to a squad, but not quite good enough to stick.

Johnson, who played college football at San Diego, was drafted in the fifth round of the 2008 NFL Draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Johnson was named the starter for a time in 2010, though he wasn't good enough to stick in that role.

In 2012, Johnson signed a two-year deal with the 49ers, and would begin the process of bouncing from team to team.

Johnson's best year as a professional would actually come in the XFL, when he was the league's passing leader in 2020.

Over the course of his NFL career, Johnson would throw 13 touchdowns on 2,270 passing yards, as well as 1 rushing touchdown.

Johnson currently has a passer rating of 70.7.

Don't feel too bad for Josh Johnson, as he has managed to collect career earnings of just under $8 million through his 13 seasons in the NFL.

Will Johnson sign on with yet another team?
