Mitchell Allen Johnson (born March 1, 1942) is a former American football offensive lineman in the National Football League for the Dallas Cowboys, Washington Redskins, Los Angeles Rams and the Cleveland Browns. He played college football at UCLA and Los Angeles State College.
Johnson attended Centennial High School, before moving on to Los Angeles State College.
He transferred to UCLA after his sophomore season, becoming a two-year starter at left tackle. In addition to his talents as a blocker, his athletic ability allowed him to score two touchdowns on tackle-eligible plays.
Johnson was selected in the seventeenth round (229th overall) of the 1965 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys and became the first African-American offensive lineman to make the team in franchise history.
On August 30, 1966, he was traded along with Brig Owens and Jake Kupp, to the Washington Redskins in exchange for Jim Steffen and a fifth round draft choice (#119-Willie Parker).
