Very durable. Set Vandy record for games played
Very versatile. Can play any line position
Very athletic and good size
Two holding calls in 4 years
7.5 sacks allowed in 1,281 passing plays

Strengths
Quick out of his stance. Natural bender with athletic, coordinated movement. Light on his feet and can work his hips. Keeps his hands inside and can pop and recoil. Shuffles, slides and mirrors. Gets to the second level with ease and can wheel around the edge as a puller. Durable, versatile 51-game starter -- has experience playing all across the line. Highly respected, passionate, no-nonsense vocal leader.
Weaknesses
Average length. Is not built for power. Needs to bulk up and get functionally stronger. Light anchor -- stressed by power rushers. Does not jolt defenders with his hands. Average explosion/pop on contact. Inconsistent connecting with moving targets and fitting on linebackers. Has had difficulty filling out his frame and maintaining weight.
Draft Projection
Rounds 4-5
Bottom Line
Experienced, intelligent, competitive, athletic, strength-deficient zone blocker. Has everything you want intangibly and has developmental value, but has to make significant strength gains and perfect his technique to survive against longer, more powerful NFL defensive ends. Has worked out as a center in the spring and might be most natural inside.

Ill take him. It sounds to me like its just his strength and technique, and if he has the work ethic they can both improve immensely. If not, its a 5th rounder. Good find.

This profile makes him sound like de la Puente.

Sounds good to me.
I've never been a fan of early round centers anyway.

I have never liked DLP ( despicable line play )
I viewed Johnson as being in a different catergory altogether.
Size, versatility, athletic ability, penalties, sacks allowed, etc.
I wish the draft would hurry up so we can have something to really write about .....
