Harold-Tribune: "Do you think that as one of the highest-paid players on the team it's your responsibility to provide leadership?" 

Johnson Jr.: "Well first of all, how much or how little somebody's getting paid in this league isn't really a factor in the locker room, or at least I don't think it should be. It certainly doesn't dictate who the leaders are. If I'm getting paid it's because I'm supposed to be bringing value to the team. Some of that might be leadership, yeah, but most of it is my production on the field and the ways I can help my team win. You need to remember that I just got here, so it's my job to become part of this team's culture and to help ensure it's a winning culture. Ain't nothing to do with salary." 
"I know you guys are looking for stories and right now we're a 1-3 football team so looking for answers like this might be good for your editor, but it's not the way I want to do things here and it's not kind of thinking this team can afford right now. We have to get this thing figured out right now if we want to reach the goals we have for ourselves."
