#11 Jermaine Johnson II VS Notre Dame (2021)

#11 Jermaine Johnson II HIGHLIGHTS (2021)

Strengths

• He is a very athletic player with great size, length, frame long physical arms.
• He plays with a high motor and fierce competitor who fights for every play. 
• The tremendous upside with his skill as he plays hard pursue the ball even between the inside gaps. 
• Weighing 260, he plays like a 300-pound rusher with can fill inside gaps as he plays more prominent with killer instincts.
• Fit for both 3-4 or 4-3 defensive schemes, but more dangerous as an EDGE rusher. 
• The EDGE rusher is Johnson's best fit for the next level, his natural position.
• He has excellent speed off the snap and a tremendous burst of speed to get around the corner to make tackles.
• He uses his hands well with a chop and club move and creating moves with his feet to out skill the blocker.
• He plays well against the run and can shed a block to make the play.

Weaknesses

• He has limited experience at the defensive end position playing on one season. 
• He will probably be a one-year development due to his lack of elite speed as an EDGE.
• He tends to play above the pad level, which causes him to miss tackles.
• He lacks patience as he will get sucked in on misdirection, counters, and play-action.
• Teams will have to figure out where they will play him, limited experience at defensive end, and lack thereof the skills required to play at the EDGE.

Draft Projection: 1st - 2nd Round
