He's been THE story at Colts training camp. He had 2 sacks in his opening game at Dallas.From Colts.com:

A continuing storyline is the development of defensive tackle Ed Johnson. Johnson, an undrafted rookie from Penn State University, started the team’s preseason opener against the Dallas Cowboys and had two sacks. With Anthony “Booger” McFarland on the injured reserve list, and with third-round selection Quinn Pitcock having missed time early in camp with a hamstring injury, Johnson has continued to work with the starting lineup this week. Johnson, who started 18 of 34 games at Penn State, had tackles for loss and five sacks as a senior, and has been impressive this week in practice, Dungy said. “He did some things in the goal-line and short-yardage scrimmage that we hadn’t seen in a while – that type of penetration and quickness off the ball,” Dungy said. “So he is doing a good job.”

The reason Colts fans aren't COMPLETELY panicked by the loss of Booger is this guy.

Here's another article detailing his rise from a troubled past. Certainly someone to keep an eye on for those of us in deep IDP leagues that start DTs.
