Kevin Johnson met with the panthers.

Honestly, we can go OT, WR, CB, S, or DE in the 1st round and I won't be mad.  IMO, OT is the clear #1 need and WR the clear #2 need, but you just never know how the draft is going to go.  Can't pass on a great prospect to reach on need.

[MichaelNewtonII]

I'd like to get a stud corner in this draft. I'd like many things, but a corner is damn near top of the list, probably only behind OT & WR

Kevin Johnson from Wake ... my favorite CB to watch in this class

Scout.com Steelers writer James C Wexell @ jimwexell Nov 7

Really liked what I saw from Wake Forest CB Kevin Johnson

last night [vs Clemson]. Skinny but 6-0 and feisty, physical. Definitely #Steelers style.

Kevin Fox @ KevinMFox88 1h

Pittsburg Steelers and Kevin Johnson are a match made in

heaven. My favorite CB in this draft.

Steelers sent a large contingent to Wake Forest's Pro Day yesterday to meet KJ, including General manager Kevin Colbert, defensive backs coach Carnell Lake, player personnel coordinator Dan Rooney, Jr. and pro personnel coordinator Brandon Hunt

The Steelers representatives even met with KJ's parents yesterday:

Wake Forest Asst Head Coach Kevin Higgins @ CoachKHiggins Nov 8

Over 25 NFL scouts and GM's lined the field on Thurs. night [for the Wake Forest vs Clemson game]. Good story on what they saw [from KJ]

Nov 6 CBS Sports:

"Wake Forest CB Kevin Johnson delivers vs. Clemson... the ACC is much more than Jameis Winston and the reigning champion Florida State Seminoles. A terrific Clemson pass rush led by projected first round pick Vic Beasley was the dominant force in the Tigers' 34-20 win over Wake Forest Thursday night, but the game remained close in large part due to big plays from Demon Deacons cornerback Kevin Johnson ... Johnson put on an all-conference-worthy showing that was sure to catch the attention of scouts. It didn't take long for Johnson's big play ability to show up ... Johnson's big plays were critical to Wake Forest remaining competitive in this contest as the Demon Deacons struggled to move the ball effectively against Clemson's ferocious pass rush. Johnson's best asset - other than his playmaking ways, of course - is his natural cover skills. He's very light on his feet, showing great quickness and fluidity"

[gettlemanjack]

Charlotte Observer:

"Johnson worked out in front of scouts from 23 NFL teams at Wake Forest’s pro day Monday, showing off his impressive footwork and range of motion... The Carolina Panthers, who had a scout at Monday’s pro day, own the 25th selection in April’s draft and are in need of a cornerback. ... Johnson’s fluidity and his 4.52-second 40-yard dash make him a late-first round target after a stellar final two seasons with the Deacons... last season teams didn’t throw the ball his way nearly as much, even though Johnson frequently was isolated with the opponent’s top receiver.

“Every game they would take one or two shots at him and then that was it,” Clawson said ... perhaps his best game of the season was against eventual playoff semifinalist Florida State. .... That came one week after Johnson was ejected for targeting a Louisville receiver. But the kind of physical play tha mightt get flagged at the collegiate level can be lauded in the pros."

Love it.  That play would draw a reactionary flag in today's NFL too, but that's a good, clean shoulder to shoulder hit separating the receiver from the ball.

Another beast in the 2015 DB class is Kevin Johnson from

# Wake. Could be the best corner in a deep group

[gettlemanjack]

105.3 The Fan, Dallas Jeff Cavanaugh @ JC1053 Feb 25

Kevin Johnson (Wake Forest CB) might have gotten ejected twice for targeting, but the sonofabiscuit is the best cover guy I've watched yet.

SportsTalk 790 in Houston Jayson Braddock @ JaysonBraddock Feb 24

I can't drive this point home enough. If you graded players on technique & how to cover , Kevin Johnson would score 100 across the board.

SportsTalk 790 in Houston Jayson Braddock @ JaysonBraddock Feb 24

Kevin Johnson has the best coverage skills in this draft, technique & instincts. Could watch him backpedal all day. So smooth.

WF DB coach Derrick Jackson @ Coach_Jackson Feb 17

Another great commentary on Kevin Johnson : [ESPN draft analyst Kevin] Weidl says Johnson , "has the most natural man coverage skills in this year's class."

MIAMI FAN @ HeartLikeDavid2 Feb 28

Woah! Watching Kevin Johnson on YouTube. He got that

Grimes Tenacity and Ball skills . FO'REAL
