Johnson, Rickey Jackson, Sam Mills and Pat Swilling made up the team’s Dome Patrol linebacker corps.
Johnson finished his career with 669 tackles, 12 sacks, four interceptions, and 11 forced fumbles.
In 2000, he earned induction into the Saints’ Hall of Fame. He also is a member of the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame and the Allstate Sugar Bowl Greater New Orleans Sports Hall of Fame.
