Caleb Johnson Bio

Caleb Johnson is an NFL linebacker who entered the league as an undrafted free agent with the Chicago Bears in May 2021 after playing at Houston Baptist, now Houston Christian. Born July 28, 1998, in San Diego, California, he is listed at 6-foot-2 and 227 pounds. Johnson earned Southland Conference co-Defensive Player of the Year recognition in the shortened 2020 college season.

Johnson made Chicago’s initial 53-man roster as a rookie, then joined Jacksonville via waivers on September 1, 2022. His Jaguars tenure established him chiefly as a special-teams contributor, and the club re-signed him in March 2024. He later signed with Atlanta on May 12, 2025, and spent time with Miami that season. The Houston Texans signed Johnson on August 24, 2026, but released him on August 30, 2026. As of September 18, 2026, he is listed by NFL.com as an unrestricted free agent rather than on a current team roster.
