From the LA Daily News:

Johnson impresses: Freshman tailback Stafon Johnson remains down on the depth chart, but Carroll praised him for practicing harder.

“He’s really come a long way,” Carroll said.

Finally…

Before the season started, Stafon was wearing t-shirts with a picture of himself on it, and had an attitude that he was the heir to the thrown that Reggie held. Pete Carroll got so heated, he said something to the effect of, “Get the F out of here. I don’t even want to see your face until (practice) starts.”

Good to see Pete praising him now. Because Stafon has a smooth style of running, could even be described as pretty.
