Jacksonville Jaguars coach Doug Pederson guaranteed the team would add to its running back room during the 2023 offseason and that promised was fulfilled Wednesday with the addition of running back D’Ernest Johnson on a one-year deal, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Johnson, 27, began his career in rookie minicamp with the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted free agent in 2018, but didn’t stick with the team. After a stint with the Orlando Apollos of the Alliance of American Football, he signed with the Cleveland Browns in 2019.
