I apologize if someone brought up Devon Johnson from Waubonsie Valley HS previously, but I heard his story on the radio this morning and thought it was a great story. He started one game at Waubonsie Valley, went to Ferris State and is at the Combine. It is a great story.
"Staying power: Prospects have good stories about humble beginnings, and offensive tackle Devon Johnson (6-7, 338) of Ferris State started his journey at the bottom. He played only one football game at Waubonsie Valley High School in Aurora, Ill., but he became a Division II All-American at Ferris, which went 15-1 in 2018 and lost to Valdosta State in the DII national championship game. What will he tell NFL teams at the Combine?
“I’m real relentless,” Johnson said. “It’s just being relentless and nonstop. Nobody’s going to stop me.” – Mike O’Hara"
