Michael Johnson

Production 2 Johnson appeared in 11 games during his true freshman season in 2005. He recorded one sack and forced a fumble on kickoff coverage that year. Johnson started one of the 12 games he appeared in during the 2006 season finishing with 34 total tackles, 25 unassisted tackles, six tackles-for-loss and five sacks. He also forced three fumbles and broke up two passes but missed the first two games of the season with an injury that year. (see durability) Johnson started one of the 13 games he appeared in during the 2007 season, finishing with 21 total tackles, 11 unassisted tackles, six tackles-for-loss and four sacks. He also broke up one pass, forced three fumbles, recovered a fumble and blocked three kicks.
Height-Weight-Speed 2 Johnson is lean but he's got the frame to add substantial weight and he shows outstanding top-end speed
Durability 3 Johnson missed the first two games of the 2006 season with an injury and didn't participate in 2007 spring practices because of injuries
Character 0 N/A

Defensive End specific Traits
Agility/Quickness 1 Explosive first step and changes directions well when attacking upfield
Strength/Toughness 3 Flashes a strong upper body and can extend arms once locked on but lacks ideal lower body strength. Can deliver the big hit and put blockers on their backs when they get off balance but isn't stout enough when teams run at him.
Instincts 3 Can get drawn off-sides by hard counts. Doesn't show a great understanding of blocking angles and can get sealed inside by tight ends blocking down. Too aggressive collapsing inside at times and can get caught too far inside on bootlegs.
Pass Rusher 1 Shoots gaps, closes well and can deliver the big hit. Can set tackles up to the outside before redirecting inside and flashes an effective rip move. Has long arms and can tip passes when doesn't get to the quarterback
Run Stopper 3 Plays too high and gets driven off the ball too much. Sideline-to-sideline run defender that takes adequate angles to the ball and shows great range at times but gears down a little too much. At times appears more interested in blindsiding offensive linemen than getting to the ball. (see first quarter of the 2007 Virginia game)
