The Facts: Johnson, 100 percent after missing five games in 2007 because of a hamstring injury, said he is now in the area of 225 pounds, up from the 212 pound he played at last season.

Diehards Line:According to Enquirer staffer Mark Curnutte, Johnson is carrying most of that added weight in his chest and shoulders, where, he said, "You've got to have it. ..." It's looking more and more like the Bengals believe last year's injury-marred campaign was an aberration for Johnson, who had been one of the most consistent backs in the league in previous seasons. He certainly heads into training camp with lead back status.
