Draft Scout Snapshot: DS Rating on 8/24/08: #11 DT, #145/750 Overall, Projected Rnd: 5

He earned honorable mention All-Big 12 honors by the league coaches, and was also an honorable mention All-Colorado performer as selected by the state's chapter of the National Football Foundation. He played in all 12 games, including eight starts at defensive tackle, and was in for 601 snaps from scrimmage. He had 50 tackles (31 solo), with his 13 tackles for loss the second most on the team; his two-and-a-half quarterback sacks tied for the third most. He also had seven hurries, four third down stops, two fumble recoveries, one caused, and three passes broken up.

2005: 11 GP; 0 GS; 5 Sol-10 TT, 1 TFL, 1 PBU, 3 QBH; He saw action in 12 games including the Champs Sports Bowl (no starts), playing for the first time against New Mexico State in the second game of the year. He saw most of his action at tackle, but he did play some at end, especially around midseason when the position was hit hard by injury. In playing 203 snaps from scrimmage, he was in on 10 tackles (five solo), with one for a loss; he also registered three third down stops, three quarterback hurries and a chasedown (near sack). The coaching staff never considered redshirting him after the first impressions he made at the start of fall camp.

How big is he AK? And Hypolite sounds like a golf club shaft company, not a DT.

"I just put a new 70 gram Hypolite shaft on my r9 driver and added 20 yards to my tee shot!"

Strengths

Very active DT who makes a lot of plays. Very quick off the ball and into gaps. Good athleticism and agility. Plays low with leverage and has good strength for his size. Excellent instincts and is tough to fool on draws and screens. Excellent on stunts. Pursues hard and plays to the whistle.

Weaknesses

Small DT who can be engulfed by big linemen and double teams; strictly a one-gap player. Not an elite pass rusher, but gets some pressure.

Projection

Not the NFL prototype but too good not to make it. Will be a second-day pick and could start for a team like Indianapolis.

how ironic...

Not a first team, second or third team all conference...but an honorable mention. Man this guy is going to be good. A camp body for sure.

I hope Hurney is burning up the phone lines ('airwaves' contemporarily speaking) getting us a Chris Harris type of trade.

Maybe Irvin can take Maake's spot, and this Hypolite character can play behind Lewis? Seems like he's definitely the kind of tackle Meeks might have worked with in Indy.

I just don't know about these smaller guys; we face a lot of great backs this season, and I hope we don't get run all over.

I know it was preseason, but do you remember how our 'beefed up' OL just man-handled Indy in the preseason game last season? They were pushing them 3-5 yards off the LOS. Smaller, quicker guys are fine if they don't get locked down, but once they do, the OL will just put them in reverse. (See Giants game with no Kemo.)

      Rookie minicamp

      This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.

      I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops.

      I saw numerous reports leading up to the draft that he'd been injury red flagged by numerous teams due to cartilage damage and wear issues that they think could shorten his career.
