Not combating your opinion but I don't think so. Not trying to be a homer or anything but I played some college DB so when I watch these guys on tape I really watch their competition as much as I evaluate them. With that being said yes it is high school so its kinda vanilla but Chi does a ridiculously sick job route running when he's bracketed. While both have good speed I think TJ is a bit shiftier but you have to overlook the reggie bush'esque plays when he runs backwards 30 yards and then turn it up for a score in highlights because that'll be pretty much irrelevant split out at the next level. They both can leap both have good hands but TJ's ability made kids play him cover 3/man style backed off the ball but the safety never gets over the top. That allowed him to that space to make plays, just in the tape ive watched I seldom saw a safety in the deep ball mix which is typical of HS ball but would like to see more skinny post, corner routes, curls between flat and middle 3rd, drag behind LB's, "blocking". There isn't that much difference between them and maybe Chi's system/ staff gave him a better opportunity to showcase those things but for those reasons I think Chi is "proven" better. Could be wrong but....

This is a good analysis. I think Johnson is stronger and better at fighting off coverage. Chi can go get it with the best of them and I think if he is more aggressive he will blow up next year. Different style of receivers, but I believe TJ's game will allow him to get more looks and help LSU really develop an intermediate threat with him switching into the slot.
