You said if Johnson "were to try to do that to him." So, while it would be a penalty on Johnson if he were to tackle him while Green was still acting in his role as a quarterback, as soon as Green throws an interception or there is a fumble, that rule is off and he's just like everybody else and can be blocked in the same manner.
