Scouting Report: Strengths

• He’s excellent downfield, accelerating to top speed quickly and stacking on top of cornerbacks. Johnson has excellent body control, contorting to make difficult catches and working well on back-shoulder throws.
• He’s also a catch-and-run threat, a creative runner who has good vision in the open field; he’ll be an option to return kicks as well.
• He shows good initial quickness off the line of scrimmage, and Johnson has enough strength to be able to consistently escape the jam at the next level. He’s a coordinated hands catcher who effectively tracks the ball downfield.
• He runs precise routes, showing an innate feel for setting up defensive backs to create separation.
• He’s also a violent runner with the ball in his hands. He’s very good working outside the numbers, showing excellent ball-tracking skills, and he does the little things well downfield, including leaving enough room on the sideline for his quarterback to drop in a throw.
• Shows good sense as a route runner and provides an enormous catch radius over the middle of the field. Johnson has soft hands and uses his frame effectively to shield defenders, making him a major threat in the red zone.
• Flashes the foot quickness and toughness to handle slot duties at the next level and lines up all over the field. Dangerous with the ball in his hands.
