Inside linebacker with an average frame but king-sized tackle production over his last three seasons. Johnson plays with a good feel for sifting through blocking schemes and runners’ lane choices. He’s an outstanding tackle-finisher who rarely misses, but he will get himself into trouble by sitting on the second level and allowing blockers to climb into him. He’s adequate in zone coverage but unlikely to be on the field for NFL passing downs. Johnson is smart and extremely productive on special teams, but he’s a little lacking in traits.
