The German football professional Jakob Johnson has found a new team for the coming season. The Stuttgart will sign in the AFC South.
Free Agent Jakob Johnson joins a new team in the NFL. This is reported by the NFL insider Adam Schefter from “ESPN” and relies on information from Johnson-Agent Drew Rosenhaus. Accordingly, the 30-year-old will sign a working paper at the Houston Texans. This should apply for one year.
New station for Jakob Johnson
Johnson has been playing in the NFL since 2019. Most recently, he was under contract with the New York Giants. Previously, the Fullback already played for the Las Vegas Raiders and the New England Patriots in the Football League.
The Swabian comes to a total of 70 games in its NFL period, in 35 of which he was allowed to play from the start.
In the past season, Johnson experienced a real roller coaster ride at the New York Giants. Johnson was deleted from the squad several times and appointed to the Practice Squad. A steady back and forth.
Even before the Giants in Munich’s NFL guest game in November, Johnson was not appointed to the matchday squad. The 29-year-old would have had the chance to write a piece of history.
Back and forth in the Giants
If Johnson had been deployed between the New York Giants and Carolina Panthers at the NFL game in Munich, he would have been the first German professional in the history of the US professional league that played in a game in Germany.
In advance, the 29-year-old had emphasized that for him with a mission in Germany “a dream would come true”.
“It would be just another very, very cool moment on my trip, I would just have a lot of fun playing in front of friends and family in Germany,” said the German NFL professional before opening his team in Munich.
In 2024, Johnson was active in three games in the weeks 2 to 4, but from then on waited in vain for another assignment.
