Scouting Reports

The Good: A smart, heady defender who reads run/pass quickly and has the instincts to consistently get after the ball. Reads so quickly that he often beats receivers and blockers to their spot in the pass and run game. A confident open-field tackler who is very patient and wraps up well on contact. A real ball hawk in the secondary but doesn't take himself out of plays. Possesses great hands and body control. Can create turnovers on all levels of the field.
The Bad: Is a bit thin by NFL standards and will struggle the closer he gets to the line of scrimmage. Displays only average straight-line speed and range and is forced to rely on his instinct. Not a real powerful hitter; wraps up well but isn't going to dislodge the ball on contact.
Scouting report provided by National Football Post.

Positives: Instinctive and aware. Plays smart. Reads coverages well and leverages the field. Takes good angles to the ball. Reacts quickly and is efficient out of his breaks in zone coverage. Very good ball skills - plays and catches the ball like a receiver. Rangy. Has changed games with big plays (see LSU). Loose-hipped and agile. Demonstrates balance to tackle in the open field. Good football I.Q. Makes secondary calls and lines up the defense. Determined and hard-working. Special-teams standout.
Negatives: Looks like a cornerback with a narrow frame and is not built to take the pounding absorbed by the safety position. Too lean. Does not explode through tackles. Does not have great man-cover skills - technique is raw and must improve pedal and turn. Natural playing weight was 185 pounds.
Summary: An instinctive, ballhawking, back-half defender who really took off under Nick Saban, Johnson has the mental makeup and physical skill set to start in the pros. Is not a physical intimidator, but is very smart and rangy and should contribute readily on special teams.
Grade: Second-to-third-round pick. Scouting report provided by Pro Football Weekly.
