Johnson DE Georgia Tech #93 | | Ht:
6'7
Wt: 263
| | | Strengths: |
| Ideal size and strength for a pass
rusher. Elite athleticism. Good upper body strength. Impressive quickness. Potential
is nearly limitless. | | Weaknesses:
| | Very inconsistent.
A lineman with Johnson's size, strength and athleticism should have been dominant
throughout college. Instead, Johnson didn't win a full time job until his senior
year and even then he failed to live up to expectations. Looks lazy on the field
at times. Has a one-track mind; only wants to get to the quarterback. Gives minimal
effort chasing down ball carriers. Tends to rely on his speed and hasn't developed
an array of pass rush moves. | | Comments:
| | Purely based on potential,
Johnson stands at or near the top of this draft class. Based on production, he's
near the bottom. No player in this class had a bigger gap between his potential
and what he actually accomplished on the field. Someone could take a chance on
him in the early second round, but I would be hesitant to take a guy like Johnson
before the third round. He reminds me of former Georgia DE Quentin Moses - a guy
with all the talent in the world, but a lack of effort on the field and a poor
work ethic never allowed him to reach his full potential. |
