The Facts:
The Lions are finishing the third week of their off-season conditioning program, and Johnson has reason to feel good about himself. He played most of last season with a back injury that restricted his movement and reduced his speed. He has had no problems with the injury, Johnson said. "I still feel it, but I can do everything I need to do on the field," he said. "I know it's there but it doesn't hurt."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Johnson was hurt making a leaping catch against Philadelphia in the third game. The injury was just above the buttocks. He missed the next game but played in the last 12, even though he was subpar physically. He took five weeks off after the season before starting his workout program. ... Johnson's statistics were respectable -- 48 catches, 756 yards and five touchdowns -- but he was not a dominating player. "Last year, I'd say I could have done twice as good," Johnson told News staffer Mike O'Hara. "If the top is 10, I'd say I was a five last year." What does he expect this year? "A 10 this year," Johnson replied.
