Eeash. When they say "problems with confidence" that is a huge red flag for me that they will never amount to anything in the NFL. Terry was the exception, but he was also crazy. This guy just reminds me of Sweed.

Here ya go...

The Pittsburgh Steelers appear set to take former Texas A&M quarterback Jerrod Johnson with them to training camp as their fourth string signal caller after former Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith was released on Monday.

Johnson, who was signed to the expanded roster following the 2011 season, now will try to show the Steelers that he has enough upside to warrant a practice squad spot, as it is very unlikely that he will be unable to unseat veteran Charlie Batch for the number three spot on the depth chart.

It has been a long road for the 6-foot-5 Johnson, who was once considered a Heisman candidate following his 2009 season at A&M. As a junior he threw for 3,579 yards in 13 games. During that season he was 296-of-497 passing with 30 touchdowns and just 8 interceptions. 3 of those 8 interceptions, his first of the 2009 season, came in the sixth game against Kansas State. Up until that game Johnson was 127-of-211 passing for 1,579 yards with 14 touchdowns. The monster 2009 season of his also included him rushing for another 506 yards giving him 4,085 yards of total offense produced.

Johnson needed shoulder surgery on his throwing arm the following spring and it reportedly caused him to lose velocity and accuracy as a result. He was able to recover by the start of the 2010 season and had two solid games right off the bat against Stephen F. Austin and Louisiana Tech.

The next few games did not go so well for Johnson as he was 105-of-201 passing for 1,276 yards with 9 interceptions and 8 touchdowns. Sandwiched in the those five games was a 40-of-62 performance for 409 yards and 5 touchdowns, but it also included him throwing 4 interceptions in the Aggies 38-35 loss to Oklahoma State. Johnson was yanked in the seventh game of the season against Kansas in favor of Ryan Tannehill and he never regained his starting spot.

It's funny, it looks as though they disabled the left click but didn't disable the right click. You can also view source via the toolbar. I pasted the code in an HTML editor, viewed it (to have all the HTML elements "interpreted") and copied it.
