Terry "Tank" Johnson (born December 7, 1981) is a former American professional football defensive tackle. He was drafted by the Chicago Bears in the second round of the 2004 NFL Draft. He played college football at Washington.
He also played for the Dallas Cowboys and Cincinnati Bengals.
Johnson was born in Gary, Indiana. His father moved him to Arizona when he was six years old. He attended in Tempe, Arizona, where he had a B-plus grade average. Johnson played college football at the University of Washington. During his four years at the University, he was second team All-Pac-10.
The Chicago Bears selected Johnson with the 15th pick of the second round of the 2004 NFL Draft. Along with teammates Tommie Harris, Brian Urlacher, Lance Briggs, and Nathan Vasher, Johnson helped the Bears' establish the league's most productive defense during the 2005 NFL season. During the start of the 2006 NFL Season, Johnson saw more action due to the loss of Tommie Harris.
On January 23, 2007, two days after the Bears won the NFC Championship Game, Johnson was forced to appear in Circuit court to request permission to leave the State of Illinois to travel to Miami, Florida to play in Super Bowl XLI stemming from an arrest on gun charges late in 2006. The request was granted, and he played in the game, recording four tackles, assisting on another, and getting a half-sack. On May 16, 2007, Johnson met with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell to determine punishment for his off-the-field transgressions, with Goodell eventually imposing an eight-game suspension, with the possibility of a reduction to six games if Johnson followed certain requirements for violating the NFL player conduct policy.
