"For the NFL, Johnson is a future starting running back who can be a three-down player. He should be a feature back who racks up lots of yards on chunk plays. Not only is Johnson explosive, he is very elusive with has superb cutting ability, balance and vision to slash his way through defenses. Johnson is tough for his size and can pick up some yards after contact, but he isn't a real power back." - Charlie Campbell, WalterFootball.com

 "While Johnson is not a workhorse back, he will be an extremely dangerous weapon on the next level. He will likely be used in a similar fashion to how the Bengals utilize Giovani Bernard. Johnson is an excellent prospect and if this was a few years ago before RB's were devalued, he probably would have been a top 10 pick. It would not be a surprise to see him go as the top RB off the board in next year’s draft. He just has to remain health and continue his excellent production." - Mark Morales-Smith, BreakingFootball.com

Projected NFL Draft Pick: 2nd Round
