Scouting Report: Strengths
- He’s tall-framed with long arms to match. With his powerful hands, straight-line speed, and fluidity in his hips, turning and chasing downfield shouldn’t be a problem.
- He’s also very good in zone coverage, showing a great understanding of routes and the ability to close quickly.
- Has a nice blend of length, speed, and quickness. He’s at his best mirroring routes underneath, showing fluid movement skills and the ability to change directions on a dime.
- Trusts his eyes with very good awareness. Has very good reaction skills to break quickly on the ball.
- Shows good instincts when facing the action in zone coverage, and Johnson has solid ball skills.
- Aware in the red zone, stays on the back line to take away fade throws. Capable of making quarterbacks pay for late throws.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Needs to tighten his angles in pursuit. Needs to show better tackling technique to consistently finish.
- Needs to develop a better understanding of route combinations and better overall vision.
- Feet aren’t ideal, as Johnson gets sloppy in his backpedal and can be sluggish when transitioning to close on the ball.
