Emmett Johnson, RB training in South Florida, could turn heads at NFL combine

When it comes to running backs in the 2026 NFL draft, many consider Notre Dame’s Jeremiyah Love to be the sure-fire top prospect at the position. One versatile, speedy tailback who may catch the attention of scouts at next week’s NFL scouting combine in Indianapolis is Nebraska’s Emmett Johnson, who is training in South Florida at Bommarito Performance Systems. NFL.com’s Bucky Brooks is one analyst who has Johnson as the No. 2 running back in the 2026 draft.
