Stats:
Johnson’s injury-marred senior season at Oregon included 168 carries for 1,252 yards (7.5 yards per carry) and 13 touchdowns, with another 75 yards on eight catches. For his career, Johnson totaled 349 carries for 2,433 yards (7.0 yards per carry) and 30 touchdowns; he also caught 36 passes for 303 yards and one touchdown.
Skill Set:
Johnson is a bit undersized for the NFL, but he was good enough as a junior to split carries at Oregon with Jonathan Stewart before tearing his ACL midyear. Scouts at the Senior Bowl thought he may be able to pack a few more pounds on his frame to help withstand NFL tacklers, and he also caught their attention with his hard running. The excellent vision and good burst were expected, but Johnson also demonstrated a willingness to run inside and held his own in pass protection. Johnson accelerates quickly and is faster in the open field than a 4.6 40 might suggest. He also has good hands and experience in the return game, both of which were on display during Senior Bowl workouts as well.
