Graded Runningback Traits:

• Ball Security: 10/10 (Only one fumble in his whole 4-year career)
• Blocking: 9/10 (A very willing and technically sound blocker)
• Burst: 6/10 (He is not a very patient runner, instead more chaotic in a good way, so it’s hard to tell but he does have decent burst from what we can tell)
• Change of Direction: 6/10 (He bounces around a lot more than stops on a dime. He can shift directions but it is not his strongest ability)
• Durability: 6/10 (He broke his hand at the senior bowl, but should be ready sooner rather than later. However he has never been the lead back so he has never had to hold up over a full season either)
• Elusiveness: 7/10 (For his size and power he is actually very elusive. Not so much that people just whiff but not many get solid contact on him)
• Pass Catching: 6/10 (For a player who did not catch a lot of passes, he has great hands and even lined up out wide for Texas. There is a ton of growth potential here)
• Power: 9/10 (He is very strong. And he is incredibly smart on how to use his strength. He does not just invite contact but uses stiff arms and alternates when he lowers his shoulder and when to use other moves)
• Speed: 6/10 (He is not average but he also is not lightning when he runs. There is a chance he is faster than he looks)
• Vision: 7/10 (He is able to wiggle in between tackles to pick up tough yards and has a good eye for where the opening will be. Sometimes he does bounce it out too much but he also finds extra yards in this way too)

Prospect Grade: 2

Projected Draft Day: 70/100; 70% (Pro Bowl Potential)

Player Comparison: Leonard Fournette

Player Summary:

If there is any back in this class that could be the best, while being thought in this way currently, it is Roschon Johnson. In no way are we saying Johnson is this player, but he looks like Adrian Peterson at times when he runs with his blend of power and elusiveness. They even utilize the same shimmy move when in the open field. He did break his hand at the Senior Bowl and has never been tasked with being a true lead back, but he is oozing potential. We will temper expectations a bit and compare him to Leonard Fornette (the NFL version).
