Weight: 200 lbs
40-yard: 4.55

Strengths: Is a well-built, powerful strong safety. Has good leadership skills and football smarts. Makes the calls in the secondary. Is aggressive against the run. Shows good instincts, and takes solid angles to the ball. Attacks the run, and chases down plays sideline-to-sideline. Has adequate speed. Has good burst when coming forward, and shows good run/pass recognition skills. Is at his best in short zones. Is physical in coverage, and makes his presence felt in the middle of the field. Does not take many bad steps.

Weaknesses: Is much better against the run than in coverage. Lacks great size, and might struggle to hold up near the line. Must show better technique as a tackler; misses too many arm tackles. Lacks great range in coverage, and shows poor man-to-man skills.

Bottom line: Johnson is a solid, durable, dependable player. He is intelligent and basically is a coach on the field. He is aggressive against the run and has good short-area coverage skills. He doesn't make many mistakes and is aggressive. Johnson has adequate size and speed but lacks great physical tools. He lacks the speed and change-of-direction skills to hold up man-to-man against most NFL receivers. That is why Johnson will be a late-Day 1 pick.
