Dillon Johnson Summary:

The Positives

  • Good power
  • Receiving and blocking upside
  • Has a good one cut move to get upfield
  • Vision is good for the most part
  • Toughness cannot be overstated

The Negatives

  • Athleticism is average at best
  • Lacks burst
  • Does not possess a lot in the make a defender miss department

Dillon Johnson definitely benefited from playing on the passing juggernaut that was Washington this season. However, it was not all scheme. Johnson displays good power and the ability to push through contact, with a good cut move that he utilizes to get upfield. He fought through some rough injuries to play in the Natty which shows his toughness, but he does come with concerns. His athleticism and lack of juice is very apparent on film. He does not hit the running lanes with burst and rarely outruns defenders. This is not to say he cannot be a starter in this league in the right system (Kyren Williams proved this year that athleticism is not everything) but it likely drops him to day 3.
