Does Larry Johnson Want to Join the Steelers?
November 9th, 2009 | by Matt Loede |When Larry Johnson was released by the Chiefs Monday, there was a thought that the former Penn State back would look to get back to the state where he played his college ball – Pennsylvania. It seems that thought is indeed true, as ESPN’s Adam Schefter is that the former Chief wants to play with the Steelers.
Back in the 2003 season, Johnson felt he was going to end up as a Steeler, but instead the team made a deal with the Chiefs to move up and grabbed now all-world safety Troy Polamalu. Johnson fell to the 27th pick, going instead to Kansas City.
Johnson was the best running back in the game in the 05-06 and 06-07 seasons, going for 1750 and 1789 years in those two years, and piling up 40 touchdowns in those two years. If Johnson clears waivers, the word from Schefter is that he wants to play in Pittsburgh and help the club get to another Super Bowl.
