Johnson runs with an infectious energy with every carry. He gets up to top speed quickly with immediate acceleration, but he isn't a burner. Johnson can author chunk plays, but I doubt he'll have many 70-yard home runs in the NFL. He wins with vision, acceleration, and lateral agility. Johnson has displayed the ability to handle volume and be a workhorse. In his final collegiate season, in 83% of his games, he had at least 19 touches. Johnson's superpower is his footwork and short-area agility. He's a short area assassin with the ability to change directions on a dime and the feet to create yards on his own. Johnson runs like he chugs 12 Monster and cheeks four Zyns weekly pregame. He can juke defenders out of their shoes while also having the contact balance to pinball off would-be tacklers. Johnson HAS TO improve his pass blocking to be trusted on passing downs. His lower body strength and ability to anchor are a problem. He'll get blown out of his cleats at times by rushers. With 125 collegiate pass blocking snaps, he allowed 15 pressures. He can redirect rushers on occasion and chip them, but at this stage, it's asking too much of him to hold his ground or bury a guy in the dirt. Johnson is a pass game weapon. He lined up in the slot or out wide with 18% of his snaps in 2025. He was deployed in 2025 with a smattering of screens, angle routes, and wheel routes with success. His short-area abilities translate well to his route running.
