Scouting Report: Strengths
- Always seems to find the ball quickly enough to at least get a hand on it. Not afraid to stick his nose into traffic against the run despite his size.
- Alert defender for zone coverage, showing good understanding of route progressions occurring behind him and a quick burst downhill to break on underneath passes in front of him.
- Has the length and speed to emerge as a starter two or three years down the line.
- 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.
- His length and leaping ability allow him to high-point the ball and make plays. Johnson would have had bigger interception numbers in college had opposing quarterbacks not gone out of their way to avoid him.
- Changes directions with ease and has the frame to hold up at any spot in the secondary.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Is undersized and underpowered when lining up in press coverage. Johnson simply lacks power in his punch.
- Gave up far too many big plays in college, especially concerning since Johnson has recovery speed to make up for missteps.
- Rght now he’s only capable of playing in trail position, and even then he’d likely be draw a lot of flags.
