looks impressive but I have to step back and notice that most of these highlights are against what looks like high school teams. Come on, Baylor? Kansas State? I know this is a promotional video but I would rather see what he could do against stronger teams. That's why college football needs a damn playoff or tournament. He didn't look all that great in the Rose bowl. I know thats just one game, but if he can dominate Baylor, he should be able to put together a better game against Michigan. JMO

This is who I want us to draft with our first pick if he falls to us.Alot of his pundits have downed him about his size,but the Jets drafted Johnathan Vilma w/ their first pick last year,and he's the same size as D.Johnson.Vilma was the league's defensive rookie of the year.

Vilma is also better at shedding blocks than Johnson, thats the one thing that will slow Johnson dont, but it wont be for long, he'll be a great LB.

Watch film of his great plays and there is something they all have in common. They are all in pursuit. In other words he's great when chasing people or even in coverage, but until he adds weight and gets stronger he will get exposed when run at. I have heard him compared to Lavar by a few, he is not as diverse as Lavar was coming out. I wouldn't be unhappy to get him because he is a play maker, but he is not Ray Lewis. He doesn't have the grit Lewis has or any MLB for that matter. He doesn't take on blocks and when he tries he usually gets handled. Best way to describe him is a finesse LB that is ONLY a fit at OLB. Personally I'd rather trade down if we're looking LB and take a true MLB like Crowder. Then move Nap back outside.
