 Pass Rushing Skills
Johnson is a freakish athlete with a premier frame and tremendous athleticism. He’s quick off the line and uses his outstanding wingspan to gain an advantage against the opposition. He moves well down the line and changes direction instantly in pursuit. He’s versatile and can play up or in the down position. He tends to get overwhelmed at the line and doesn’t handle double teams well. - Chris Steuber, Scout.com
