Another former Jet is finding another life in the Alliance of American Football.

Wide receiver Charles Johnson, who was with the Jets last summer, has made himself an early star through the first two games with the Orlando Apollos in the AAF. Johnson grabbed an early record 192 receiving yards in the Apollos’ 37-29 comeback win against the San Antonio Commanders on Sunday.

He also snagged two touchdown passes from former Panthers and University of Texas quarterback Garrett Gilbert.

Johnson, who turns 30 later this month, has 252 receiving yards through the first two games of the AAF’s inaugural season.

He was in Jets camp in 2018, but was cut just before the start of the season. Johnson is best known for his time with the Vikings, as the former seventh-round pick grabbed 475 receiving yards and two touchdowns in his second season, in 2014. He stuck with Minnesota for three seasons, but injuries derailed his promising start.
