Great news. He is top 250 nationally and top 10 state so not too underrated. Nice A-day weekend.

Johnson is one of those kids who can be as good as he wants to be. We'll find out in time if that's a good thing or not.

Was those times hand timed? Not sure I buy the 4.32, but he is definitely in the "elite" level.

What I like that nobody seems to talk about is his ability to break tackles.

The reason nobody ever talks about his tackle breaking ability is due to the fact that he is so fast no one ever gets close enough to tackle him.:)

nice article here on DJ. I wonder if Saban is thinking DB here for DJ. Bradley Sylve is almost a mirror of DJ and Sylve is working with Db's now. Saban knows to put the fastest, best athletes on defense. Bet we see DJ play a good bit of corner this year.
DB is a definite possibility but he is really good with the ball in his hands. Scored 19 TD's on 63 catches, that's 1 out of 3 times he catches it he scores and it is in a very good region.

A lot of where he ends up will depend on what the incoming wide receivers do. If those guys pan out and solidify the outside, we can put Johnson pretty much wherever we want. If not, though, we might have to stash him at wide receiver just out of necessity.
