Leonard Johnson CB Duke Scouting Report

Strengths

• Tough in run support and works hard to get off blocks. Hard-nosed player who attacks the run and doesn't back down.
• Willing and successful blitzing off the edge. Consideration for a move to safety with a combination of range and sure tackling.
• Extremely aggressive to come up and put his body in traffic to make tackles.
• Has good foot quickness and short-area burst to work well in tight areas.
• Savvy cover skills to recognize and anticipate routes. Understands what's coming and has good ball skills.

Weaknesses

• Will slip off tackles and needs to finish more consistently.
• Inconsistent getting off of blocks. Can be a step slow to react when a quarterback comes back to his side of the field late in progression.
• Questionable technique and he gets lazy with fundamentals, sometimes getting high in his backpedal and will breach the coverage call seeking flashy plays
• Lacks instincts with shaky awareness, is overaggressive and too often bites on fakes and misdirection.
• Fails to maintain inside technique in man coverage. Not a press corner.
