How did Michigan running back Drake Johnson deal with finding out the injury he suffered at Ohio State last season was another ACL tear?

The same way any understandably emotional young man might react to a breakup: By listening to Boyz II Men and Mariah Carey.

"It was like, 'You know what, this sucks, I'm going to be enveloped in my sorrow for one hour,' " Johnson told reporters in Ann Arbor on Tuesday night (via via MLive.com). "I just went on the highway for like an hour. Listening to slow jams."

After "one hour of feels," Johnson said he was ready to get to work on rehabilitation his injury.

"I was good after that."

And now Johnson, who made his season debut against in week two against Oregon State but has not yet reclaimed his starting spot, is determined to show Michigan fans and the rest of college football he definitely has not reached "the end of the road."
