Explore NFL player picksBuddy Johnson Bio
Buddy Johnson is an American football linebacker who, as of September 30, 2026, is on the Chicago Bears’ practice squad. The Bears list him at 6-foot-2 and 240 pounds, with Texas A&M as his college. Chicago signed Johnson to its practice squad on September 1, 2026, after he was released by the Las Vegas Raiders on August 30, 2026. His current practice-squad status should not be confused with an active-roster position.
Johnson entered the NFL when the Pittsburgh Steelers selected him in the fourth round, 140th overall, of the 2021 NFL Draft. He made his NFL debut with Pittsburgh and later spent time with the San Francisco 49ers, Houston Texans, Chicago Bears, Dallas Cowboys, Indianapolis Colts and Las Vegas Raiders. His professional role has included linebacker duties and extensive special-teams work. At Texas A&M, Johnson developed as a versatile defensive player and was a finalist for the 2020 Butkus Award. His career path has included active-roster appearances, practice-squad assignments and standard elevations, making him a veteran depth and special-teams option rather than a currently established defensive starter.
