Kevin Johnson
Vincent Laforet/Allsport
He is a former QB that has really flourished as a WR, while also contributing as a kickoff return specialist. This is a guy that does have true deep speed and he is a threat to go all the way every time he touches the ball. He has excellent run skills after the catch and has the quickness to separate and get open. He shows an excellent burst and acceleration in and out of his cuts and he has improved as a route runner. He is not an overly physical guy, although he will come over the middle, but he is not a guy that likes to mix it up. He also needs to work a little more and his hands as he tends to "body catch" the ball and he could become a better "snatcher". There is a feeling among scouts and coaches that he is just starting to tap into his potential and as he develops his WR skills, he could become an excellent NFL player as both a WR and a return specialist.
