Johnson is starting to look like the sleeper to make the roster that nobody predicted.  He has a perfect build to be a Tackle, wiith huge hands and 35 inch arms, and has been getting some looks there this year. He had a 30"  vertical at the combine and had one of the best long jumps for OL in 2015, suggesting that there is some athleticism and power in his lower body.    Cutting Bisnowaty and Clausell could signal that the Panthers intend to use Johnson as a reserve G/T.

If anyone can help Johnson understand the nuances between G and T it is new assistant coach Travelle Wharton.   Reading the article linked above, it seems that Johnson needed physical and mental discipline.  A four year starter at Pitt, it occurs to me that maybe things cane to easy for him, causing him to get by without refining technique or working hard in a competitive situation.  There is a hint in the air that the Panthers think they may have found some treasure in Arizona's dumpster--we shall see later today.

Great find! I am glad Wharton is here to help players with multi position potential. He was one of the best when he was in the league.

Wharton was a great player for us.  He filled many roles with us and rarely failed to perform.  Not sure about center but I believe he filled every other position on our offensive line at one time or another. 

I was sad to see him go to Cincinnati and suffered pretty much a career ending injury.

  DJohnson was one of the most under the radar signings when they picked him up. I was hopeful that they would consider him in the LG competition. I would be surprised if they use him as the primary T cover considering his lack of experience and usage. But they obviously decided Clausell and Bisnowaty had showed all they were capable of. It does seem a little risky though....
