Steven Mickail Johnson Jr.[1] (born March 28, 1988) is an American former professional football linebacker.

Johnson attended Strath Haven High School in Wallingford, Pennsylvania, where he played linebacker; however, he struggled to impress coaches the way some of his teammates did.

Despite his successful senior year, he did not receive an offer to play collegiate football at any level.

Without any collegiate offers, Johnson enrolled at Wyoming Seminary in 2006 to continue his education and play football.

His performance began to earn the attention of college scouts until he tore his ACL, LCL, and capsule in his left knee.

[9] Johnson finished college with 225 tackles, three sacks, six pass deflections, two forced fumbles and an interception.

In Week 11 against the Kansas City Chiefs, he came in for a defensive play where he stopped Jamaal Charles at the goal line and denied him a touchdown on third down.

[21] The following day, the Steelers signed him to a one-year, $760,000 contract after Bud Dupree suffered an injury.

[30] On November 9, 2018, Johnson signed with the Arizona Hotshots of the Alliance of American Football (AAF) for the 2019 season.

[31] In the season opener against the Salt Lake Stallions, Johnson intercepted quarterback Matt Linehan in the second half.
