K-State's speedy Avery Johnson wants to prove he can also beat you with his arm

When a college football game between NC State and Kansas State was set for the Pop-Tarts Bowl, NC State’s defensive coordinator, Tony Gibson, realized that game film didn’t fully capture the speed of Kansas State’s young quarterback, Avery Johnson. Johnson’s exceptional speed proved difficult for NC State to defend, as he led Kansas State to a 28-19 victory, earning MVP honors in his first college start. Gibson compared Johnson’s speed to that of former standout quarterbacks Pat White and Denard Robinson. Johnson’s impressive performance has raised expectations for Kansas State, who is aiming for a spot in the College Football Playoff.
