02Scheme fit
Ideal system
Johnson projects best in an attacking 4-3 scheme that asks its defensive ends to shoot gaps and pressure the quarterback on passing downs.
Wide-9 DE3-tech DT pass rusherdesignated pass rusher
Best role
As a rookie, Johnson could contribute as rotational pass rusher with upside to develop into a starting DE due to his athleticism and motor.
Wrong fit
His lack of ideal size and strength would be a poor fit for a two-gapping 3-4 defense.
Johnson's athletic traits and pass-rushing upside make him an intriguing fit for an aggressive defensive front seeking disruptive playmakers.
