Kansas City Chiefs' running back Emmett Johnson went viral after receiving a rough hit during training camp from teammate DB Xavier Nwankpa.
Johnson was running a route in an open scrimmage when Nwankpa levelled him with a hard hit, prompting teammates to help the former Nebraska Cornhuskers RB up.
Nwankpa and Johnson were on opposite ends of a heated college rivalry, as Nwankpa was a DB for the Iowa Hawkeyes.
Johnson spoke to the media after training camp and downplayed the hit from Nwankpa, chalking it up to being just football and issuing a warning for the next time such a situation develops.
"That's just football, man, it was 7 on 7–I gotta use my pad level and next time you're going to see what happens."
