Chiefs FA Pickup WR Taurus Johnson - Page 2

TRR · 05-01-2009, 07:40 PM

This guy looks like he has some real talent. His stats don't show what the highlights do, but everything I've read seems to peg him as a good kid, and a hard worker. You can tell that he doesn't have blazing speed by any means, but some of these highlights are amazing no matter what level.

He has two highlight films, and I would say he has a chance to stick.

Didn't this kid singlehandedly beat KU this year?

Hydrae · 05-01-2009, 09:49 PM

One of the things that I liked was when he had his helmet turned all the way around on him and when he got up, he showed no thought of going after the guy, he was about the play. And the awareness he shows keeping the ball inside the post on a touchdown right after that in the first video. He has the head for the game, it will just be a question of if he can overcome the lack of speed and adjust to the increased speed from the defenders.

He looks pretty good in those highlights, let's see how hard he works. Obviously, I hope he turns out to be a steal, but let's face it: he's an UDFA.

We have to wait and see if he can adapt to the pro game.

Wow. This kid is impressive. He needs to go after the ball when its in the air though.
He is hella slow. It seems like it takes him forever to get down field.

I hope he figures out a way to get seperation inthe nfl .and the video was well made

The only problem I see is the speed. He's obviously tough and has great hands...but that kinda makes him sound like another Bowe, and we really don't need that do we?

...ah, what the hell though. Good luck Taurus.

I'd rather have 2 bowes than 1

whatever reason,the florida wrs always play like ass in the nfl.

these guys live off their speed and may be lazy on this level. Sammy Parkeritis?

ChiefMojo · 05-02-2009, 07:20 AM

Again, I have no clue really why he wasn't drafted, let alone not in the mid-rounds either. From just watching him personally he screamed a very good NFL WR. I have seen enough top of the line BIG XII WR's to know this kid is just equal with them. Guess we just got ourselves a gem then.
