Position: RB

Age: 21

School: Iowa

Height: 6 ft

Weight: 225 lb

Background:

A 3 star who grew up in Ohio, Johnson chose the Hawkeyes. After showing promise as a freshman, Johnson regressed in 2023. However, in 2024, Johnson has seen quite the rebound, putting up video game numbers and making an argument as the best RB in college football not named Ashton Jeanty.

Pros:

Decisive Runner

Excellent Vision

Good initial burst and acceleration

Workhorse who can handle a heavy load right away

Patient runner who sets up blocks well

Good contact balance

Decent receiver

Cons:

Good but not great long speed

Limited lateral agility, thus misses cutback opportunities at times

Pass pro technique needs refinement

Route tree needs a lot of work

One year wonder, however, that may be due to how bad the Iowa offense was under Brian Ferentz

Character could be a bit of a weak spot, has a reputation of being immature

Summary:

Johnson has the tools to be a solid 3 down back at the NFL level. How good he will be is dependent on if he develops into a solid receiver.
