After receiving the opening kickoff, the Eagles drove 66 yards in 11 plays to take a quick 7-0 lead. The 49ers, on the other hand, had grabbed control at their own 25 and moved 25 yards before facing a 2nd & 6 at the 50. Hassan Reddick of the Eagles struck Brock Purdy from his right side as the rookie starter quarterback slipped back to throw, hurting his right throwing elbow.
Johnson, who wasn’t even a member of the 49ers until he was signed on December 6, was placed in the unenviable situation of facing the NFL’s greatest pass rush without having had time to fully understand his own team’s strategy.
Since then, he has become a trending topic of discussion with many people trying to find out more about him. So, here’s what we know about him:
