| Rishaw Johnson Scouting Report |
| Rishaw Johnson - California (PA) (HT: 6-3⅜ - WT: 313) |
Positives -- Good size for an NFL guard with room to build on his frame... Has above average athletic ability and puts in an all-out effort on every play... Fires off the line very quickly with good explosion into the defender... Very quick getting into the second level; often takes the linebacker out of the play before
they even get a chance to react... Has a killer instinct and consistently drives his defender way out of the play... Absolutely dominated the line of scrimmage at the Division II level; the entire offense ran behind him... Has good technique in the run game and does a good job of dipping his shoulders and rolling his hips through contact... I viewed him a late rounder prior to the post season, but there are quite a few others with similar skills as Johnson that don't come with his issues; however, he does still have the potential to be a late round pick and develop into a quality player with good coaching.
Negatives -- Comes with major character concerns; was a highly regarded recruit in high school who committed to Mississippi but was dismissed from the program during his junior year after his third violation of team rules... Is very aggressive in the running game but sometimes plays out of control and overextends himself which lets the defender out of his grasp... Has a lot of work to do in pass protection; often gets beat off the line as he is a little slow getting back into a leveraged stance... Really needs to work on his footwork, his feet are very slow... Tends to overextend his arms in pass protection as well which throws him off balance... Needs to focus on keeping his arms and hands under control as he often lets his hands slip outside the numbers leaving him vulnerable to holding calls... Relies too much on his size and strength, will really need to improve fundamentals to succeed in the NFL.
