Rory Johnson #48
Outside Linebacker
Mississippi
Ht: 6'1
Wt: 235

Strengths: Good athlete with decent speed and quickness. Solid tackler and hard hitter. Productive college player. Looks fluid in coverage and has the athleticism to match up one on one with running backs and tight ends.

Weaknesses: Lacks experience. Doesn't show great ball skills. Some concerns that he is a slow learner, and has a history of academic problems.

Comments: Originally attended Hinds Community College (Mississippi) for two years before transferring to Ole Miss where he played just one season. He had a very productive year after getting off to a slow start. Surprised many people by declaring early for the draft, and probably would have been better suited to stay in school. He has a plenty of upside, as he is still raw and shows the room to improve. He projects as a 3rd or 4th round selection, but likely needs a year or two to develop.
