SCOUTING REPORT: STRENGTHS
Transitions well from coverage to close on the ball. Strong hands, quick reactions for the interceptions.
Great on route recognition and has click-and-close ability
Very good instincts, especially in the box. Sound and solid tackler. Takes good angles in pursuit.
Has the quick, agile feet and fluid hips to mirror quickness and change direction underneath. But he’s at his best facing the action.
Has the fluidity, speed and quick feet to come down and defend slot receivers in man coverage. Johnson also does a nice job breaking down in space as a tackler after the catch.
SCOUTING REPORT: WEAKNESSES
Lacks the pure speed to chase down the ball carrier.
Not an explosive player and needs to show better bend and flexibility in his drops - plays too high.
Johnson gets beat over the top too often and tends to panic and get too handsy when running downfield.
Will slip off tackles and needs to finish more consistently.
