===Draft===
Johnson was selected with the 28th overall pick in the 2017 NFLHC Draft by the New England Patriots. The Patriots traded a third round pick and their 2018 first round pick to trade up and draft Johnson. He signed a 4 year, $22 million deal with the team, that included a 5th year team option.
===New England Patriots===
Johnson assumed the starting job in the 2017 NFLHC Season, replacing Rob LeCount, who had been traded to the Lions. His first season was one to forget, as the Patriots went 4-12 and finished in last place in the AFC East. In the following offseason, the Patritots arranged a trade with the Chicago Bears for #1 Pick in the 2018 NFLHC Draft, where it was rumored that they would select Missouri quarterback Aaron Shea as a replacement for Johnson. However, this trade was vetoed by the NFLHC commisioner, and Johnson remained the starter for the 2018 NFLHC Season.
