Dynasty Rookie Draft Profile: Roschon Johnson

Roschon Johnson Dynasty Rookie Draft Outlook

Roschon Johnson is a north/south runner. He is at his best when he gets downhill quickly and into the second level. Johnson is patient at the line and scheme versatile. He has good lateral agility for his size, but he’s not a wiggle-back. However, Johnson has enough juice and good vision to work well on zone runs. Johnson quickly gets up to top speed but lacks that second “home-run” gear. He displays good contact balance. He’s able to shed arm tackles, and there’s plenty of film of him making the first would-be tackler miss. He was utilized on dump-offs in college. He displayed soft hands when called upon in the passing game.

Roschon Johnson 2023 NFL Draft Outlook

Johnson is a huge running back with a finesse approach based around quickness and vision but doesn’t run with quite as much power or grit as is typical given his size. He was overshadowed by Bijan Robinson in school but is a solid back in his own right and could continue to work his way into a running back rotation at the pro level. Probably more of a mid-round selection.
