Ex-Buckeye Dionte Johnson Signed by the Cardinals

Sometimes good things happen to good people.  Dionte Johnson has been doing the dirty work of football for the Ohio State Buckeyes and now will get a chance to do the same thing for the Arizona Cardinals of the NFL. 


By Bill Smith

    The Cards signed Johnson to a undrafted free agent contract today according to Josh Buchanan, of the NFLDraftBible.com.  The financial terms were unannounced but Dionte knows well what the operational terms are—seek and destroy tacklers as both a fullback and on special teams. 

     Dionte has good bloodlines.  His Dad is Pepper Johnson of Ohio State and NFL fame. 

    Dionte started for OSU at fullback and has been a special team standout for several seasons.  That experience will serve him well in summer camp.  The Cardinals have one of the better fullbacks in the game, the former Cleveland Brown Terrelle Smith.  Fullbacks normally are not paid much.  With Smith earning nearly a million a year, if Dionte can prove his worth, he has a shot to stick.
