Malcolm Johnson

Age: 23

Experience: 1 year

Contract status: Free agent 2019

As a sixth-round draft pick from Mississippi State, Johnson was the Browns starting fullback for part of the season. Johnson served as the Browns lead blocker before missing the last four games of the season with a groin injury.

2015 stats:

Johnson caught four passes for 15 yards while appearing in just five games.

2016 outlook:

Johnson will be the Browns blocking fullback heading into 2016 where he will look to improve off a decent rookie season.

C. Johnson did a solid job in run blocking and showed versatility out of the backfield in limited pass catching opportunities.. FB. Cleveland Browns. MALCOLM JOHNSON
