2023 Guide: What Ourlads’ NFL Scouting Services said about ROSCHON JOHNSON:
Texas | H: 6004 W: 225 40: 4.58 A: 3200 H: 0958 W: 7678
Five game starter, Port Neches, TX. Started games each of his last three seasons but was never considered the number one back. Earned honorable mention All-Big 12 honors in 2022. Was a dual threat quarterback recruit out of high school before moving to running back because of injuries and never looked back. Johnson is a football player above all else. He can make things happen as a runner, receiver, blocker, and a tackler on special teams. Shows all-out effort all the time. He packed on weight after making the transition to the backfield and special teams but was able to maintain his plus-speed. Paired with the aggression and power, Johnson makes his presence felt weekly. Not the most graceful runner with the ball and his style highly favors gap over zone schemes. But if a team gets him on the back-end of a depth chart and finds ways to use the skill set and mentality, he is going to create the hidden components that win games. Physical marvel that has a body that would fit in with the Greek Gods. Yoked from head to toe. Plays an aggressive, borderline angry, brand of football that is always team-first. Passion for the positive impact shows up as a blocker. Attacks his man and stays attached with a little extra something after the whistle. Will run through a brick wall and have something left over for the cheap arm tackle attempts on the other side. Presses the hole hard whether it is there or not. Tight runner that does not have much patience. Will not fit well into a zone-scheme. A bit too leggy and struggles to play sudden. Never a feature back which leaves some stones unturned. Is the ideal teammate and back-end roster player who will wear several hats, and wear them dependably.
2022 Stats: 554 yds, 6.0 ypc, 5 TD, 14 rec, 128 yds, 9.1 ypr, 1 TD. OSR:10/16. 5th/6th round.
