Final Grade
7.37
Physical player that looks to lay a huge hit when he arrives at his target. Shows tremendous leadership ability when on the field. Very aggressive in run support and has the ability to play inside the box. Fantastic work ethic and gives his all consistently during the game. He is no slouch in coverage and is not going to be a liability in the secondary. Has the ability to force turnovers for his team.
Weaknessess
A little undersized which can lead to issues when covering larger receivers. Has trouble at times getting off of blockers which takes away his effectiveness. Can get beat by receivers that have an elite release off of the line. Needs to work on his diagnosis of when to lay a big hit or simply just wrap up for the tackle.

Big Picture
Jaquan Johnson has been a staple in the Miami Hurricanes defense for four years. Often seen as the best player on the defense, teams would gameplan to take him out of the game as much as possible. However, Johnson has continued to make plays consistently. Johnson is seen as one of the hardest hitting players in this draft. That is impressive considering his size (5-10, 190lbs). Teams in the NFL will be skeptical because of his smaller size as many safety are built bigger than him. What Johnson doesn't have in size he makes up for in competitiveness and heart. Johnson gives his all every play and does everything he can to get the win. Johnson can make an immediate impact for a team at the next level. He will make teams that pass on him pay down the road.
