College RB Kaleb Johnson, Iowa (1 Viewer)

Jim Nagy
Good up-close look here at one of 2025 draft's top breakout RB, @HawkeyeFootball junior Kaleb Johnson (6000e, 225e), who already has more rush yards (Big Ten leading 1,328) & more than 2x as many rush TDs (20) than first two seasons combined.

Big week in Mobile in front of NFL decision-makers could separate him in tightly-packed group of Rounds 2-4 RBs.

The #Bears drafted the star of Iowa’s offense last year in Tory Taylor. Could they do it again this year with Kaleb Johnson?

They have way bigger needs than running back. But his size, vision, speed and balance could be dangerous in that backfield.
 
I think the fantasy community is too high on Johnson. I see a banger with no top end speed or receiving ability. It will be interesting to see what the NFL thinks of him. In addition to Jeanty obviously, I would draft Henderson, Hampton, and Judkins over Johnson in my dynasty drafts.

I actually think it's the NFL that is much higher on him then the fantasy community.

I personally don't view him as banger. Physical for sure but I think he's pretty smooth, see some shades of Arian Foster in his game.

Sometimes it can be hard to judge if a player has ability to do something or was just not asked to do it and I mean with that with respect to his receiving ability. Definitely don't expect some route running dynamo, but showed soft hands and should be functional. For sure for me his projected role in the passing game is my biggest question mark on him.

On your last bolded line. I'm out on thinking like that myself. Sure Jeanty is is my clear cut RB1 and Hampton that as RB2. Past those two , and not saying one of them won't fall victim to situation either, I find it impossible to make declarations such as your's this early in the process. To say nothing of testing and the stuff but RB is so deep this year that a ton of these RB's are going to be drafted as luxury items, to teams that have zero RB need. Some of them are going to be Charbonnet'ed or worse. That matters a whole lot to me, maybe less to you because we play in very different roster size dynasty league but I'm not trying to use round one type dynasty draft capital on someone I think I have to wait 2 or so years for the incumbent RB to depart in hopes I have something. With the weak WR class not pushing a lot down, might have to start pulling RB's who project as more handcuffs for next year plus at back end of round one, but if I'm choosing between the group the path to playing time is going to be a huge factor.

Not from the podcasts I’ve watched. Besides, how do you justify this statement?

You could say the same way you justify your statement. Mainly reading what people I pay attention to are saying, people not in the fantasy football business and most who have legit NFL contacts who give them feedback.

Nice deflection. Who are these people you speak of?

If you want to have a convo we can have one but if you want to start accusing me of deflecting we are done here. Maybe you could tell me what about my response differed from yours?

I for one have posted several podcasts in this forum showiing where fantasy guys favor Johnson over Henderson and Judkins. I think it's a lot easier for me to do that than it is for you to post where, "people not in the fantasy football business and most who have legit NFL contacts who give them feedback". Or at least you haven't done so yet.

And you think I know everything you write in this forum? Please. All you said to me is you listen to some podcasts(none you named, nor do I care) that said they liked Johnson. That's a shallow response, thought I at least explained my sources better then you.

Ok, if you don’t want to say who these NFL sources are so be it. I would love to know who these NFL people are.

Here’s a couple podcasts ranking Johnson over Henderson and Judkins. There are others.



Not to lose sight of the fact I rank both Henderson and Judkins over Johnson. That is probably lost in this BS discussion.

Again with the unfounded accusations. I never said for one second I did not want to say who these sources are which give me idea of what NFL is thinking and had you just asked that instead of accusing me of deflection this convo would have gone a whole different way.

BS discussion.
One thing you got right, and that's on you.

Ok man, you win. You're not worth it.

Exact thought I had towards you when I saw the "deflection" comment and concluded you were not worth having a convo with any longer.
