Former Sumter defensive lineman Raymond Johnson III had no clue where he would end up on Saturday morning. He was sitting in an AirBnB in Columbia watching the third day of the NFL draft, hoping to see his name roll across the screen. Over the next eight hours, he received a number of phone calls, but none of them came from a team ready to select him in the draft. When the final pick was made, Johnson still didn’t have an NFL home, but it also didn’t take much longer to find one. 45 minutes after the draft, Johnson got a call and a few minutes later he announced to a room full of his family and friends that he was signing with the New York Giants. We spent the entire third day of the draft with Johnson and his family, so this week on the Blitz we’ll recount that long day and how Johnson ended up landing with the Giants.

This is Big Apple Bound.
