Mahogany was about to start a college game for the first time. He had only been playing football for a short period of time compared to other guys in the room. Thanks to veterans like Alec Lindstrom, Zion…

Photos: @_ZJ77 & @JimNagy_SB To say Boston College offensive lineman Zion Johnson had a great week for himself would be an enormous understatement. Johnson was one of the biggest stories to come out of the prestigious Reese’s Senior Bowl week – as was UConn’s Travis Jones – and he also was named the Practice Player of the Week, which is voted on by his peers from both rosters.
