Pete Johnson, the Ohio State and Bengals' fullback, turned 55 today. He was born on March 2, 1954. He was, I think, the closest thing that I'll ever see to Marion Motley. He was 6-foot-nothin', 255 pounds, fast, tough, a real danged fullback. He blocked for Archie Griffin on the way to Archie's two Heismans. Johnson was a complete fullback. It is not a position that get carries any more in the NFL. So we shall see if there is another Pete Johnson that comes along. At the end of his career, he was traded to the San Diego Chargers for James Brooks, who went on to a great career for the Bengals. Johnson was done.
