Overview
After a quiet start to his LSU career, Johnson finished it with a Senior Bowl invite. Coaches asked him to move from linebacker to fullback before spring 2006 practices after he played only one game as a sophomore. He took on the challenge even though he was a bit reluctant to get off the defensive side of the ball. Johnson didn't get a lot of carries (three touchdowns on 14 rushes as senior) or chances to catch the ball (two receptions for 33 yards). But frankly, he just likes to hit people whether lined up on offense, defense or special teams units. Had an arm span of 32 1/2 inches and a hand span of 10 3/8 inches at the combine.

| Grade | Title | Draft (Round) | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 96-100 | Future Hall of Famer | Top Pick | A once-in-a-generation type prospect who could change how his position is played |
| 85-95 | Immediate Starter | 1st | An impact player with the ability/intangibles to become a Pro Bowl player. Expect to start immediately except in a unique situation (i.e. behind a veteran starter). |
| 70-84 | Eventual Starter | 2nd-3rd | A quality player who will contribute to the team early on and is expected to develop into a starter. A reliable player who brings value to the position. |
| 50-69 | Draftable Player | 4th-7th | A prospect with the ability to make team as a backup/role player. Needs to be a special teams contributor at applicable positions. Players in the high range of this category might have long-term potential. |
| 20-49 | Free Agent | UDFA | A player with solid measurables, intangibles, college achievements, or a developing skill that warrants an opportunity in an NFL camp. In the right situation, he could earn a place on a 53-man roster, but most likely will be a practice squad player or a camp body. |
