Johnson led the NFL in 1970 and 1972 in Rushing Attempts, rushing for over 1,000 in both years. Johnson's 1970 campaign was exceptional as he was the first Giant to rush for four digits, and he also led the league in Yards From Scrimmage with 1,514. That season, he was named a First Team All-Pro and Pro Bowler, and in 1972, he was atop the leaderboard in Touchdowns (14) and Approximate Value (20).
In the years after, Johnson's compiled injuries caught up with him, and after a good 1973 year, he was largely ineffective before being signed with the Dallas Cowboys in 1975, a team he never played for. Johnson had 5,649 Yards From Scrimmage and 48 Touchdowns as a Giant.
