He's not even afraid to call himself the best quarterback in the nation going into the 2010 season. He figures if he does end up being that good, he will accomplish the only thing he cares about, winning.

"My biggest goal is just to leave a winning legacy," Johnson said Monday at Big 12 media days. "As far as being a guy that lives in Texas and my dad playing for A&M, just leave a lasting impression at Texas A&M. And I think the best way to do that is to win games."

The Big 12 total offense leader last year, Johnson put a late-season scare in the Texas Longhorns on their way to the BCS championship game. But the Aggies finished with a losing record for the second year in a row after getting blown out by Georgia in the
Independence Bowl.

Johnson passed for 3,579 yards and was second among Big 12 quarterbacks with 506 rushing yards, numbers solid enough to make him the preseason offensive player of the year pick by Big 12 media. He's in a spotlight filled last year by Oklahoma's Sam Bradford and Texas' Colt McCoy. He believes stats didn't set his former opponents apart. Winning did.

"I think that I shouldn't deserve the award if I'm not winning games," said Johnson, whose father, Larry Johnson, played receiver and defensive back for the Aggies in the 1970s. "Wins are 70 to 30 more important than play. If you can get a win by throwing two passes per game, I think that's a huge deal."

Texas A&M coach Mike Sherman did set one specific number for his quarterback: a 70 percent completion rate. Johnson finished just shy of 60 percent last year, but news of that number didn't phase him.

"My goal is to complete enough passes to win a game,'' Johnson said. "I won't worry about the 70 percent, but I think it's along the lines of you play well and if you look back and you've completed 70 percent, then our goals should be accomplished."

GRIFFIN WATCH: Baylor coach Art Briles opted not to bring star quarterback Robert Griffin III to Big 12 media days. That didn't stop anyone from asking about the sophomore who is coming off a major right knee injury that sidelined him most of last season.

Griffin's injury helped push Baylor back to the bottom of the Big 12 when the Bears were thinking they might be headed to their first bowl game since 1994. Briles said Griffin was healthy and "in great shape," but he reserved judgment for the first time Griffin tests his knee in a game.

"When you get something taken away from you, you respond two different ways," Briles said. "You pout, complain, sulk, cry, and fall into a shell, or you fight, you grind, you have vision, you have hope, and you work harder than you've ever worked in your life. That's what Robert has done, and that's what we knew he would do."

Offensive lineman Danny Watkins, a Canadian who has been playing football just four years, said Griffin looks ready.

"To look at him now, he's just a beast," said Watkins, who declined a chance to turn pro after he was drafted by the Canadian Football League during the offseason.
