Johnson has good measurables and college production, surprising that a Chiefs team rebuilding its defense would have released him.

Yeah - he's got upside. Solid signing by our guys.

Some good info on Johnson for anyone interested...

Redskins add ILB Gary Johnson

Of note, Johnson had the 2nd fastest 40 time in the combine with a 4.43 - basically identical to Devin Bush and Devin White, both top 10 picks. The rap on Johnson is that he is not nearly as quick moving sideline to sideline. Could be a special teams beast though.
