Johnson's combine performance was a major red flag, as running a 4.51 40-yard dash at 154 pounds will disqualify him among many evaluators. The Oregon wideout declined to give it another shot at his pro day, though, suggesting his tape tells a different story about his game. He's probably right. Johnson was a difference-maker in college. His quickness and route-running skills were consistently too much for defensive backs to handle, allowing him to create easy separation. He was similarly dynamic after the catch and as a returner on special teams. Johnson continued to shine when it came time to go one-on-one with some top defensive backs at the Senior Bowl. Gambling on a player with this size will always carry some risk, and he'll need to mitigate against NFL defenders. But the eye test was good enough that Johnson is absolutely worth a shot.
