JOHNSON HIGHLIGHTS
Donald Trump Hillary Clinton

Viewing Johnson I think back to former Texas receiver Roy Williams who seemed to peak with the Longhorns, but never matched his perceived long-term potential. Johnson has failed to put it all together although he is athletically gifted as any receiver in the 2016 NFL Draft and feel he could out play his collegiate production in the NFL. Johnson appeared at Texas as a true freshman. Character, size and smarts all play into the eventual prospect NFL teams are going to study as a prospect. Feel the best football is ahead of Johnson after his exceptional Pro Day the previous theories on his ability and upside was erased. Currently, Johnson is one of the hot late-round names who possess God given athleticism.  Long arms, good musculature frame with great leaping ability. Can fight off the line, release cleanly and get open. Has potential. Great length and works well outside the numbers and has the speed to get separation. He reminds me of Jacksonville Jaguars Allen Hurns who played at Miami.
