Johnson should be a person we keep an eye on for somewhere in the 3rd round. I really like his vision and the way he is able to cut back to find running lanes - again, he reminds me of Matt Forte a whole lot.
David Johnson - RB - Panthers
Northern Iowa RB David Johnson "could be drafted in the Day 2 range before it's all said and done," noted ESPN's Steve Muench and Kevin Weidl.
Johnson "displays very good versatility on tape and continued to catch the ball well during the drill work portion of the workout," they wrote. "He is a great example of a small-school prospect who has taken full advantage of the postseason process by creating a buzz within scouting circles." At the combine, the 6-foot-1, 225-pound Johnson clocked a 4.50 40-yard dash, and leaped to a 41.5-inch vertical jump and a 10-foot-7-inch broad jump. Johnson posted the second highest Speed Score amongst running backs. NFL Media analyst Charles Davis calls him a "total mismatch" versus linebackers in the passing game.
