Johnson is 5'11 1/2'' and 212 lbs. Still undersized but not quite that bad. Johnson just seems to be one of those great college system QB's that doesn't fit the NFL mold.
Thanks. I used Wiki data. Shudda known better.
http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/matt-johnson?id=25... "Weaknesses Short quarterback gets shorter with sidearm release. Struggles to see over defenses and has too many balls batted. System stat-piler. Struggles to drive throws and has to swing entire lower body through his throw like a pitcher. Won't be able to make all the NFL throws. Will hang onto ball too long. Took 35 sacks this season despite high percentage of short throws. Just over 68 percent of his attempts were inside of 10 yards. Poise in pocket is very average.
Draft Projection Undrafted free agent
Bottom Line Johnson rung up some very impressive passing numbers in Dino Babers' offense and took full advantage of the deep ball counters when they were available. His size is below the NFL norm and the arm strength is well below the line. Johnson lacks special mobility traits to make up for his physical deficiencies and might have to wait for a camp invite to get his shot.
