I'm not sure why everyone is shitting on Johnson as a RB. Sure, he could be a badass safety, but he's a badass RB regardless. It has been said for months that he's the top RB on our coaches board, so obviously they think he can succeed there. It's not like he's an average RB, he's a better HS back than Barber, CAP, and Mason were in my opinion and is definitely way more versatile.

Not sure anyone is crapping all over him really, he's just not a guy who makes me go wow at RB. I could see him being a solid RB in Gus's offense, but I just can't see him starting over Roc or Barber, and definitely not Jovon if we manage to grab him.

So in the most likely scenario he'd be mainly a depth player at RB for the majority of his career in that case. That is just not something that gets me too excited.

Now if he could become a badass safety as you put it, I'd be pretty stoked as that is a huge need.
