<![CDATA[Browns sign WR Taurus Johnson]]>Haggerty's injury must be pretty serious if were signing a WR.

Background

A Ft. Myers, Fla. native, Johnson played in all 12 games for the USF Bulls as a true freshman in 2005, catching three passes for 35 yards.

As a sophomore in 2006, Johnson caught 37 passes for 494 yards and two touchdowns for the Bulls. He followed that season up with 34 catches for 407 yards and four touchdowns as a junior in 2007.

Johnson set career highs in all major receiving categories as a senior in 2008, catching 38 passes for 498 yards and six touchdowns. He finished his collegiate career with 112 receptions, 1,434 yards and 12 touchdowns.

Johnson (6-0, 206 pounds) ran a 4.52 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine. He went unselected in the 2009 NFL Draft and signed with the Kansas City Chiefs as an undrafted free agent on April 26.

After appearing in all four preseason games for the Chiefs in 2009 and catching two passes for 18 yards, Johnson was waived by the team during final cuts on Sept. 5.

Johnson remained a free agent until Sept. 30, when he was added to the practice squad of the Detroit Lions. He was released on Nov. 5.

Johnson was signed to the Dolphins' practice squad on Dec. 1. He will wear No. 89 for the team and will earn roughly $5,200 per week. As a member of the Dolphins' practice squad, he his eligible to be signed to another team's active roster at any time.

Yay. I remember Taurus being a reliable 2nd/3rd down back. Mitchell had the spot light when at USF.

Johnson and Carlton Mitchell both played together in college, he must've stood out to scouts while scouting Mitchell. They should have a built in chemistry on the field.
