Nico Johnson # prospect in 2013 NFL Draft.

Nico Johnson NFL Draft Bio



Nico Johnson (born June 19, 1990) is an American football linebacker for the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the University of Alabama, and was a member of Alabama's National Championship teams in 2009, 2011 and 2012. The Kansas City Chiefs picked him in the fourth round of the 2013 NFL Draft.

Johnson was born in Andalusia, Alabama. He attended Andalusia High School, where he played basketball under coach Richard Robertson, as well as football. He recorded 78 tackles, 32 assists, one fumble recovery, one blocked punt and 11 interceptions during his senior season. As a junior, he made 80 tackles and blocked one field goal attempt.

Johnson received ASWA first team All-State honors three consecutive times and was named to the Orlando Sentinel's All-Southern Team and the Press Register's Super Southeast 120 (No. 12). He also earned All-American honors by Parade, was a finalist for the High School Butkus Award, and was selected U.S. Army All-American Bowl, where he led the West squad with four solo tackles, including two tackles for loss.

Considered a five-star recruit by Rivals.com, Johnson was ranked as the No. 2 outside linebacker prospect. He has made numerous visits to Alabama and said one of the reasons he chose the Crimson Tide over finalists Oregon, Florida, Louisiana State and Southern California was to be near his mother, who suffered from diabetes. Johnson is now a contributor to the class of 2009 scholarship at Andalusia High school.

Johnson enrolled in the University of Alabama, where he played for coach Nick Saban's Alabama Crimson Tide football team from 2009 to 2012. As a true freshman in 2009, Johnson began the season as a backup, but soon had to step in for the injured Dont'a Hightower. He played in 12 games and made two starts at weak-side inside linebacker next to Rolando McClain. He earned freshman All-SEC selection by the league coaches and Sporting News after the 2009 season.
