Scouting Report: Strengths
- Good effort at the point of attack and second level as a blocker. Intelligent and will quickly acclimate to an NFL offense.
- Has extremely good, soft, natural hands. Consistently makes the clean catch.
- Has hands of glue, about as good as you 'll see in the sport.
- A big-bodied and sure-handed underneath target, he's a fluid mover, and Johnson shows good sense as a route runner and provides an enormous catch radius over the middle of the field.
- A major factor is his size, strength and explosive athleticism, but he also has a knack for tracking and high-pointing the ball.
- Johnson plays with a smoothness and balance, and he shows a knack for setting up defensive backs.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- He’s largely a non-factor downfield, and Johnson had issues with drops when running behind a defensive back and tracking the ball. More quick than fast, he won’t always be able to run away from NFL defensive backs.
- He’s a work in progress as a blocker, often playing too high and getting overpowered at the point of attack.
- Johnson has constantly ran a limited route tree.
