What the analysts are saying
- "Johnson's lack of size will drive him into a nickel role where he appears to have the foot quickness and cover talent to handle the job. He has to prove that he can play with confidence in his technique rather than grabbing during the route. " - Lance Zierlein, NFL.com
- "Questions about Johnson's size and speed could dog him throughout the pre-draft process but he certainly was a star in the Big Sky, proving a difference-maker once he stepped onto the field." - Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com
