| | Player Profile | Josh Johnson - Quarterback
College: San Diego, Senior
|
| Strengths | Johnson is a draft board riser from a small school, thanks to being the star of the Shrine game and workouts; very accurate short and intermediate passer from a system that emphasized quick decisions and precision routes and throws; moves around very well and can make plays with his legs; good at improv plays and also at taking what the defense gives him; quick, compact release and shows good footwork; engaging personality, a genuinely likable teammate.
|
| Weaknesses | He is not very big (6’2”, 200) and doesn’t have a plus arm; throws deeper than about 20 yards tend to flutter but still with good accuracy; doesn’t always zip the ball as hard as he can/should; played in a lower-rung league of I-AA although he helped lead the team to unprecedented heights; will need seasoning to adjust for both the system and level of competition--he hasn’t seen an NFL-caliber defender yet.
