Below average athletic profile and overall speed
Still a little slender and that limits his power
Lacks mass and strength in his lower half to stall rushers in pass pro
Final Report
Johnson is a creative running back that can play on all three downs. His testing was disappointing, but the tape tells a different story. He's light on his feet, creating yards with jukes and spins. Tacklers struggle to get a hand on him, especially when he gets in space as a receiving back. His route tree goes beyond dump off passes, showing off legit tracking skills on throws down the field. In pass protection, his lack of mass in his lower half hurts him. He's fearless in taking on blitzers and edge rushers, but he gets driven backwards or dumped by pure power. Johnson lacks explosive speed, but his elusiveness in tight spaces and receiving ability makes him one of the more intriguing committee back prospects in this class.
