Pixote Posted February 23, 2009 Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 NFL | R. Johnson has met with several teams Mon, 23 Feb 2009 03:25:48 -0800 During his press conference at the NFL Scouting Combine Sunday, Feb. 22, Alabama S Rashad Johnson measured a height of 5-foot-11 and a weight of 203 pounds. He said he had talked with the Atlanta Falcons, the Chicago Bears, the San Diego Chargers, the Cleveland Browns and the Cincinnati Bengals so far. So he is one of 60 players we have chosen to interview. That narrows it down a bit, LOL. I agree, Free Safety is one of my concerns. My major concern it to have a good FA signing for ORT, FS, & WR then draft an ORT, FS, & WR in the draft. After that, whatever we can get to help the team, maybe DE, QB prospect, OG/C, complementary RB to Forte, FB, ???? Oh, and get St Clair signed! He is versatile. He can play either side OG or OT. We need him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradjock Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 what is he projected? i like this guy, he can play. Former walk on earned a schollie and turned into a player ESPN has him ranked has Rashad Johnson ranked as the #2 safety overall, and nfldraftcountdown.com has him projected to go #37 overall. So he's way to early for #18, but if he's there when the Bears draft @ #49, we'd have to think hard about taking him. Here's what ESPN had to say about him: Overall Football Traits Production 2 Redshirted in 2004 and played in all 12 games on special teams in 2005. Played in 11 of 13 games (four starts) in 2006, missing the final two due to injury. Emerged as a fulltime starter in 2007, when he led the Crimson Tide with 94 total tackles and an SEC best six INTs (tied with Vandy's D.J. Moore). Height-Weight-Speed 4 NFL 'measurables' are below average across the board Durability 3 Missed the final two games in 2006 with an ankle injury but has remained durable otherwise. Character 3 Has emerged as a leader on the field and was named a 2007 team captain, but off-the-field incident is concerning. Johnson was charged with disorderly conduct for allegedly knocking down a security guard at a Tuscaloosa bar early in the morning on February 25, 2008. He was released on $500 bond and criminal charges will be dropped if Johnson meets the requirements of a plea bargain, which included community service and a public apology Defensive Safety specific Traits Recognition Skills/Toughness 2 A natural playmaker with very good overall instincts. Read-and-react skills continue to improve each season. Generally gets a good jump on the ball in coverage when reading the QB's eyes. Run support is not his primary objective but he is willing to fill once he's certain there's no threat of pass. While not a big-hitting DS, he doesn't shy away from contact. Closing Burst 2 Much better closing burst than 40-time indicates. Capable of making up a lot of ground when the ball is in the air. Fluidity 3 A bit high in his pedal and is occasionally a quarter-count slow to plant and drive out of it, as a result. Does not have a great deal of experience in man-to-man coverage and also gives up size to TE's one-on-one. However, he shows quick feet and adequate-to-good natural fluidity in his hips. Covers a lot of ground in deep-middle FS role. Ball Skills 2 Displays good overall ball skills. Generally gets an early jump and can close quickly when the ball is in the air. Times jumps well and will catch the ball at its highest point. Shows good overall hands when in position to make a play Run Support 3 Plays a lot from the high-point, so run support is usually the secondary concern. Does not project as a good in-the-box matchup in the NFL. Will get washed out rather easily by bigger blockers at the point of attack and needs to be protected to be effective. However, he is not afraid of contact and he does a solid job of wrapping up in space. Pursuit angles are solid and he finds ways to bring bigger ball carriers down. Trait Scale 1 = Exceptional 2 = Above average 3 = Average 4 = Below average 5 = Marginal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 My ideal first day would be Oher in the 1st, and Johnson in the 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
