He excels at pulling into space and creating running opportunities at the second level. He can displace those defenders whether he's pulling to the playside edge or linebacker. Johnson demonstrates solid initial quickness in both his 45 and vertical pass sets. He utilizes a strong base and delivers a powerful punch to disrupt the rhythm of pass rushers. He employs a swipe to counter initial contact and focuses on hand placement to create leverage.
