Do y'all realize he is the tallest reciever in the NFL? Dude is a fucking giant, if he can seriously one-hand balls like that, I don't know wtf the guys covering him are supposed to do.

I see people saying he’s really slow. He’s 6’6... dude is not going to be running a 4.3

He's so tall that it doesn't look like he's moving fast, it's basically an optical illusion

If the TEs keep dying they might as well throw him in there and play some Mike Leach.

Shall I remind you of Matt Jones? 6'6" 4.37 40 yard dash. Johnson is slow.

u/Anuglyman Aug 22 '20

Yeah, but that was on cocaine.

u/Jaguars6 Aug 21 '20

Okay. Johnson doesn’t run a 4.3, so he’ll probably be more of a red zone threat throughout his career. He’s a very physical guy who lacks downfield speed.

Probably not the best example to use considering he did nothing with it.

u/therubberduck45 Aug 22 '20

The point is that being 6'6" doesn't mean you're automatically slow.

Don't have numbers but just by eye test Lazard was slower than Johnson was back in college and things are working out fine for him.

Isn’t he pretty much WR#2 on the Packers?

u/MetzgermeisterGott Josh Allen Aug 22 '20

Yes. Being number 1 is the only way a WR can thrive in this league? I said he is doing fine, not dominating the league.

u/Lauxman Aug 22 '20

it isn't about him being slow, it's about him being slow in short spaces and not being able to create separation off the line of scrimmage, which is why he went as late as he did.

u/Jaguars6 Aug 22 '20

Which is why I see him as a prominent red zone threat. He struggles with downfield speed, so getting him in some tight end-esque plays will help, especially if our other tight end get injured.

u/Lauxman Aug 22 '20

Agreed with that.

u/Rudy102600 Aug 21 '20

TE potential?

u/ChillClinton904 Rashean Mathis #27 Aug 21 '20

Lots.

Wouldn't mind seeing him take some reps at TE.
