Kevin Johnson met with the panthers.

[davos]

Here's the bit on NFL.com about him today:

 

 

Wake Forest: Johnson impresses scouts

Big draw: CB Kevin Johnson
 

Don't forget: CB Bud Noel
 

Notable attendees: Steelers GM Kevin Colbert and defensive backs coach Carnell Lake; representatives from 21 other teams.
 

The skinny: Johnson was the star of the show and smartly chose to stand on his good numbers at the combine. NFL Media senior analyst Gil Brandt said Johnson looked "very good" going through drills in front of scouts, which should continue to fuel his rise up draft boards and make him a potential first-round pick.

 

Pro-days on deck for Tuesday: Auburn, Duquesne, James Madison, New Mexico State, Northwestern, Pitt, Sam Houston State, Tuskegee.

very underrated basketball player.

[top dawg]

Intresting prospect, refreshing to hear about another position other than O line.

 

Refreshing to hear anything about any prospective draftee.  More draft prospects and less Hardy is officially unofficially done.

[DaCityKats]

Pass.

I don't want a guy who shys away from contact.

he is a very good cover guy, with good instincts, footwork, and hips. he should be on the radar for the panthers.

[Khaki Lackey]

But can he super smoke left bowl tackle-screen?

[Toker Smurf]

Who is he? What position does he play? What grade does he have? I dont watch or follow college, never heard of him.

Type 'Kevin Johnson NFL' (or just about any players name) into Google and you can find the answers you seek.

[Squirrel]

So scratch him from our draft list.

Pretty good basketball player, even better politician.

 

Wants another shot at a ring. Had a great team around him in '93. Can't blame him.

[Montsta]

very underrated basketball player.

Also underrated as a politician. How he managed to keep the Kings in Sac I don't know.

Watch him hit the national stage within the next decade.

ESPN David Newton:

"If the Carolina Panthers use the 25th pick on a cornerback, Johnson could be their guy.

At 6-foot-1 and 185-pounds, Johnson could fill the role of shutdown corner opposite Josh Norman so that 2014 draft pick Bene' Benwikere could move back to nickelback.

While offensive tackle and a speed wide receiver to play opposite Kelvin Benjamin are Carolina's top needs, a potential shutdown corner isn't far behind

...

Johnson didn't show elite speed at the combine, running a 4.52 40. But he felt good enough about that time that he didn't run the 40 on Monday [at Wake Forest's Pro Day]"

Bené dropped because of his 40 tim. Gettleman said this game is not played in underwear. His game speed is like Bené's.

Both of those WF corners are going to play in the NFL. KJ has ideal size but Bud is the better ball hawk.

Always leary of drafting out of WF. Those players often peak in college because they have such good coaching and don't improve a ton in the pros. But you are almost always drafting a model citizen and someone you can count on.

I wouldn't take KJ in the first.

KJ at Combine (vs. the 54 DBs there)

#2 shuttle (#1 was Bobby McCain Memphis)

#2 vertical, 41.5 (#1 was Byron Jones UConn)

#3 broad jump (#1 was Byron Jones UConn, #2 PJ Williams FSU)

#6 three cone (#1 was Justin Coleman TN, #2 Eric Rowe Utah)

Kevin Johnson has Joe Haden type coverage skills. Wake

Forest didn't even showcase him as much as they could. Can

play zone / off / man

ESPN Kevin Weidl @ KevinW_ESPN Feb 10

The more I watch Wake Forest CB Kevin Johnson the more I like. Easy mover and instinctive.

NFL Draft Scout Matt Miller @ nfldraftscout Feb 10

[when asked his opinion on KJ] Very, very fluid in coverage. Needs to add good weight

CBS Sports Dane Brugler @ dpbrugler Feb 7

I like WakeForest CB Kevin Johnson A LOT more based on the coaches film

NFL Draft Scout Matt Miller @ nfldraftscout Dec 1

Little NFL draft note: My phone is blowing up about Kevin

Johnson (CB- Wake Forest). NFL folks love this kid.
