ESPN: ★★★★ No. 35 wide receiver
247: ★★★ No. 61 wide receiver
Rivals: ★★★ no. 61 wide receiver.
The ESPN Scouting report labels him as tall and smooth.
STRENGTHS: Johnson is a tall receiver who knows how to set up defensive backs with smooth route running in order to get open. Will make the catch with his hands away from his body. Beginning to understand defensive schemes and how to settle vs. zone coverage. Very willing to block downfield for other ball carriers. … AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT: Has good speed but not consistent breakaway speed. Runs a lot of the same routes, so he will need to develop and expand into more different routes. … BOTTOM LINE: Johnson is an athlete who has the ability to be a productive college receiver. With the expansion and practice of his route running, he should become an even more effective receiver.
