The Facts: After struggling at 212 pounds last year, Johnson worked with Bengals strength and conditioning coaches Chip Morton and Ray Oliver daily in the off-season program and unveiled his larger, sculpted physique this week at training camp. His body weight is up to 230 pounds. Johnson's body far percentage, Morton said, is down. "Redistributed weight" is what Johnson said.

Diehards Line:According to Enquirer staffer Mark Curnutte, the results are impressive to look at and watch. Johnson is noticeably bigger this season, and he appears to faster. He's surely more physical, in keeping with coach Marvin Lewis' training camp mantra emblazoned across the backs of T-shirts -- "Physical." The base of Johnson's rediscovered strength is his legs, which he trained relentlessly to both add strength and help heal the hamstring that slowed him last season. "Mainly, I got a lot of leg power back," Johnson said, "just doing different exercises that I haven't done since Auburn. ..." Should Johnson return to the form he demonstrated in 2005 and 2006, he'll be among this year's best draft-day values.
