Duke Johnson projects best in an outside zone or spread RPO scheme with a creative play-caller who can exploit his receiving skill set.
As a rookie, Johnson could immediately contribute as a third-down back and change of pace option, with a ceiling as an every-down receiving back in a pass-heavy attack.
A traditional power running scheme that primarily values between-the-tackles grinding and lacks opportunities for receiving backs.
Johnson's agility and receiving prowess make him a valuable asset in modern pass-centric offenses, though his size limits his effectiveness in power-run concepts.
Selected #77 overall in Round 3 of the 2015 NFL Draft by Cleveland Browns out of Miami (FL).
