Prospects Comments
NFL - Has unusual build for the position with a linear frame and thin hips. Johnson proved that he was more than tough enough to carry a heavy workload to help Auburn impose their will on the ground. Johnson runs with good burst and is adept as both an inside and outside runner, but is more likely to become a grinder than a slasher on the next level. Johnson offers three-down value and could become an early starter, but his frame may not be able to hold up over the long haul if he's forced into high carry totals.
CBS - Power back size with the ability to deploy vicious jump cuts to make defenders miss in the hole. Runs through tackles and almost always finishes runs hard. Don't have breakaway speed but is fast enough to beat linebackers around the corner. Surprisingly elusive for his size
DLF - PROJECTED ROOKIE DRAFT RANGE Thanks to the hype surrounding the running back position and this class in particular, Johnson isn’t exactly going to come cheap in most rookie drafts. According to May 2018 Rookie ADP, Johnson is selected in between picks eight and twelve just about every time (in 1QB leagues). He may come a bit cheaper in superflex or 2QB leagues, but it’s pretty clear he is a highly-coveted rookie draft commodity.
