Money quote: Johnson formed a bond with another Miami to ‘Cuse product, former standout Steve Ishmael.

“Me and Steve Ishmael, we were very close, very close,” Johnson said. “He helped me. He guided me. I looked up to him in the offense. I learned from him and I learned from his mistakes. Steve Ishmael was a big role model.”
