Johnson converted on all three of his kicks in Monday's 13-10 win over the Seahawks, knocking down his lone extra-point attempt and hitting field goals of 21 and 33 yards.
EDGE Analysis
Making his NFL debut Monday, Johnson became the Saints' third kicker of the season after New Orleans moved on from both Aldrick Rosas and Cody Parkey. The 22-year-old wasn't tasked with any overly challenging kicks in his first game, but he at least came through in the clutch, as his 33-yarder with 1:56 remaining broke a 10-10 tie. Johnson now looks like he could benefit from an extended run as the Saints' kicker; according to Jeff Duncan of The Athletic, No. 1 kicker Wil Lutz -- who has been sidelined all season following core-muscle surgery in August -- announced Tuesday that he'll remain on injured reserve for the rest of 2021 after experiencing a setback in his return to practice last week.
