  Most players on Nebraska's roster have no doubt about which position they play. Rahmir Johnson has played both running back and slot receiver during fall camp. The question posed Thursday: What position is he? Johnson said he's a wideback. In other words, a positionless offensive weapon who can line up in the backfield or out wide like what Deebo Samuel did for the San Francisco 49ers a year ago. Johnson draws on different players for inspiration, though. He mentioned Tavon Austin, De'Anthony Thomas and Christian McCaffrey as the players he envisions his role being like - short, agile runners who can take quick carries and catch passes all the same.

Add in some work as a gunner on the special teams unit, and it's clear Nebraska is setting Johnson up to be a do-it-all player for the 2022 season - a role he's completely embraced. "It's definitely different from running back and I have a lot to learn but I'm adjusting well," Johnson said. "I'm a fast learner so I'm kind of catching on but there's still some stuff I have to pick up on. I have two good coaches that are helping me do that and I'm enjoying it." The idea of working Johnson in at slot receiver was born earlier in camp when NU had a few receivers unable to practice. - Lincoln Journal Star
