#0 Raymond johnson highlights

Strengths: He is aggressive and versatile, who is tough, and plays with great competition. He has an unmerciful play skill, as he fights off blocks and fights off the blocks to get to the ball carrier. He will use his hand with an excellent punch to anchor to shed blocks to run down the play. He has excellent awareness at all times to locate the ball. He has much energy with a high motor to run down the plays with good closing speed. He uses moves in pass rush to cut off routes to get to the athletic quarterbacks. He will play to the end of the play.
 
Weaknesses: He is a bit undersized for an NFL 5-tech who will need to add more bulk to his frame. He will not be able to cause pressure for the edge while remaining at his current size. He does not play with a twitch and has limited range. More extensive and more potent blockers will blow him entirely out of the play. His flexibility is limited, and he will struggle with his pass rush moves. His quickness is off the edge will not blow by athletic offensive tackles at the next level. If he does not get more substantial and heavier, he will be a practice squad player at best.

Draft Projection: 7th Round - Priority Free-Agent
