02Scheme fit
Ideal system

T.J. Johnson projects best in an inside zone run scheme that prioritizes quickness and precision blocking at the point of attack with an emphasis on gap integrity.

Center (inside zone)Guard (quick sets)
Best role

Year 1 he could compete for a starting center role, with a ceiling as a reliable, long-term interior lineman.

Wrong fit

Gap/power schemes that often require longer pulling assignments or sustained one-on-one brute strength blocks downfield are not his ideal fit.

Johnson's proficiency in quick-hitting, technically sound blocks makes him a natural fit for zone-based offenses seeking an agile interior presence.
