Xavier Johnson is getting his shot to play in the NFL as an undrafted free agent.
While he wasn’t selected in the 2024 NFL draft, the former Ohio State wide receiver/running back agreed to a contract with the Buffalo Bills shortly after the draft as an undrafted free agent, according to Bleacher Report’s Jordan Schultz.

Johnson arrived at Ohio State as a walk-on in 2018 but worked his way up to becoming a versatile role player on offense, a vital special teams player and a team captain for the Buckeyes.
