Nice, I think he's going to fit in really well here.

haha great compliment. I was with him the other day. Johnson really reminds me of Estime though.

Yeah didn't watch his highlight tape, but if he's close to either in speed then he will help.

Mo Jackson was one of the most underappreciated guys on those high-octane offense teams. KJ & Spotwood got the pub, but Mo got open all the time.

Fast, good instincts and looks like a true home run threat. Really love this pickup.

 

[CuseMan4]

Think of a faster (which is crazy) better route running Brisly, not as built yet however.

 

[crales44]

How about Jamel Riddle as a comp?

 

[chakka3421]

Awesome! You can't teach speed...looks like he grew 2 inches since the announcement now is 5'9"!

Welcome aboard Mr. Johnson!

 

[Trueblue25]

Fresh.

How about Jamel Riddle as a comp?

Outside of a couple punt returns (including a huge one in an upset at Va Tech), didn't think Riddle was all that impactful at WR. Could have been due to the QB problems during his era, but I am hopeful Johnson is better than him.

This is funny and tells you what ratings are worth. I saw this kids highlights and saw as much if not more from them as I did from most the three stars WRs I checked out. Not to mention this kid can return kick offs and punt returns. Congrats to SU and Mr. Johnson.

He reminds me of the old saying, if he's even he's leaving!

Size/speed comp is right on. 41-626-5 nothing to sneeze at in a much less explosive offense. Plus the return skills. More impactful than Mo Jackson IMHO.

I agree. Mo would have been great in these spread offenses.

I agree he has WR skills that estime is stilling trying to learn. but nearly as physical yet.

 

[retro44]

Great pick up,but who is that no.11 dude that looks really big who was chasing him at the 2:40 mark. Nice speed for a kid his size

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Welcome, Nykeim. May you catch a bunch of touchdown passes.

 

[kcsu]

Cant teach speed. Great to see us back in the dc area

After watching those clips, it's not hard to envision this smurf doing big things in a Babers offense. Nice pickup, despite the size.

 

[DMDMD]

Like that he catches everything with his hands. I can see him taking a few inside slants a long, long way.
