Scouting Report: Strengths
  • Combines excellent power with initial quickness, but one of his best attributes are his violent hands, which Johnson uses with impressive precision.
  • Can make the impressive chest-to-chest bear hug tackle in the hole due to his ability to wreak havoc in the backfield.
  • Excellent hustle-and-chase tackler. Good closing speed with change of direction to corral mobile quarterbacks.
  • Johnson has an impressive blend of length and movement skills, capable of dominating shorter interior blockers as a penetrator and showing lateral agility in addition to speed in pursuit.
  • He has an excellent feel for working off blockers and knowing how and when to counter as the play goes on.
  • He’s quick to react and locate the ball, and he shows enough speed to succeed in backside pursuit. Johnson plays with excellent balance and a strong, flexible core, rarely ending up on the ground.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • His spin move is a bit slow and mechanical. He’s susceptible to cut blocks, a tactic that was used on him often
  • Johnson remains a bit raw, as Johnson is inconsistent with his hand use and lacks violence in his hands
  • Johnson lacks elite traits in the pass rush and will need to develop a counter move.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
