JORDAN ROSS – First off, how are you feeling? How far along are you in your rehab?
MATT JOHNSON – I’m doing good. Just started running a couple weeks ago, and have been doing everything else for about a month now. I’m just focused on coming back stronger than last year.
JORDAN ROSS – Will you be ready for OTA’s and minicamp?
MATT JOHNSON – Yes, I’ll be ready.
JORDAN ROSS – How frustrating has it been battling so many injuries during your first 2 years in the NFL? And what kind of steps have you taken to prevent them in the future?
MATT JOHNSON – It’s been super frustrating. I got injured in my senior year in college, but other than that, I had never missed a game. I was never injury prone, so it’s been frustrating. I’ve just been eating healthy, not pushing myself as hard while working out, and working on my flexibility a little bit more.
JORDAN ROSS – Other than injuries, what was the most difficult transition for you coming out of college and into the NFL?
MATT JOHNSON – Being away from friends and family. Being by myself was tough. There’s a lot of great guys on the team though, and I made a lot of friends. But at first, it can be kind of lonely.
JORDAN ROSS – Which veterans have taken you under their wing since you’ve been a Cowboy? What all have they taught you?
MATT JOHNSON – Gerald Sensabaugh took me under his wing in my rookie year. We were both banged up early on, so we spent a lot of time together. Also, Barry Church. He’s been a great mentor. He shows me the ropes. I can overthink things sometimes, so they taught me that whatever happens, happens, and to work my butt off.

A lot of good information on Johnson. Let's hope he can stay healthy and at least be a ST player.
