    I don’t know why everyone assumes Johnson is a lock. I think he is going to be in a competion with frank gore jr for the last running back spot. He likely makes it as the 3rd rb but he has always been a journeyman RB and although I liked what he did at the end of last season people act like he accomplished way more than he actually did.

     

    his stats:


    132 rushing yards, 0 TDs, 1 fumble

    72 receiving yards 1 td

     

    So 205 all purpose yards and 1 TD on 37 combined plays. That's 5.5 yards per touch.

     

    Slightly better than Cook's 5.3 yards per play for the season. Also Cook averaged 1 TD per 49 plays.

     

    So, there no drop off in production, but rather a slight improvement when Johnson got the ball vs Cook.

    Those are huge discrepancies between years. Any explanation?  I presume caliber of competition is as good if not better in Big 10 as opposed to ACC. Offensive schemes run by Michigan State v. Florida State?  Something else?

     

    I haven't been able to find an all targets video for 2022.

     

    One thing that changed, in 2022 he lined up outside 95% of the time. In 2023 he lined up outside 69%... 

     

    In the few short 2022 videos I've seen, he looks like he's getting open a lot over the middle on crossers and in breaking routes...

     

    Going to need a thorough breakdown of the routes he ran and the differences in scheme.

    Yet he caught almost every single ball thrown to him with just TWO drops?!?! WTF there is a stat for everything I guess

     

    He didn't catch almost every ball thrown to him. His catch percentage was only 57% last season. 

     

    When you watch all targets, you'll notice that he has a defender draped all over him on a ton of plays knocking the ball away. 

     

    Edit: his 2022 catch percentage was better - 66%. With fewer contested catches (18% vs 35%) and a higher contested catche rate (62% vs 33%)
