George Johnson

Greenie football players obviously have an incredible resource in George Johnson, who played defensive end in the NFL for nine years.  

There is more to Mr. Johnson’s life than just football though, and his background in philanthropy and working with youth has aided him greatly as Assistant Dean of Campus Life.  

Coming to Christ School reunited Mr. Johnson with Varsity Football head coach Chad Walker – the two men were previously on the same coaching staff at Cambridge Christian School in Tampa, Fla. Mr. Johnson played professionally for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Minnesota Vikings, Detroit Lions, and New Orleans Saints from 2010 to 2018.  

Mr. Johnson is completing his B.A. in Labor Studies and Labor Management from Rutgers University where he was a four-year starter at defensive end.  

Mr. Johnson has six years of volunteer experience for the Boys and Girls Club of America and has also been involved in benefits for youth and families in need through a church food pantry. Mr. Johnson lives on campus with his wife, Rebecca, and their children, Olivia, George, Mae, and Bo.
