Johnson posted a verse from the Bible on his Instagram account. He then followed it up with a heartfelt message of his own . The 23-year-old admits he will miss playing alongside his teammates this season, and that he appreciates the support he has received from his loved ones and fans alike.
"'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the LORD, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future,' Jeremiah 29:11 NIV," Johnson wrote.
