VIDEO: Broncos LB Alexander Johnson Trains With Young Neighbor
NFL players have to find unique ways to stay in shape this offseason. Denver Broncos linebacker Alexander Johnson is training at his home and that came to the surprise of one of his young neighbors. The linebacker may have left the young kid a bit starstruck and that became even more true when the two trained together.
This kid was surprised Alexander Johnson is his neighbor, so the Broncos LB invited him to help train ✊

Learning an NFL player lives next door is a dream come true for a lot of kids. Johnson is still living modestly after once being a decent prospect. He and a teammate faced rape allegations while at Tennessee and both were acquitted in 2018. Johnson then signed with the Broncos and appeared in 15 games last season.

Here’s my story. https://t.co/s6aykpYWwt
Johnson is entering his third season as 28 years old. He had 93 total tackles and 1.5 sacks in 2019 and figures to be a key piece on the Broncos defense in 2020. If he ends up having a Pro Bowl season he may have to stick with his current training regimen and bring his neighbor along to the team facility.
