Draftguys TV profiles Jaymar Johnson

He ran just under a 4.5 at the Combine, but when you see him running routes on Draftguys TV, you'll understand why that number's deceiving. Jaymar Johnson's solid all-around game makes him one of the most pro-ready small school players in the draft.

Have heard his name twice in the last two days as a standout....

First was on Sirius yesterday, Visanthe Shiancoe singled him out as being very impressive.

now this came out today:

Cris Carter knew all about Percy Harvin, the Vikings' explosive receiver.

But over the past few days, while training Pro Bowl receiver and Minneapolis native Larry Fitzgerald in the Twin Cities, Carter found another explosive receiver: Jaymar Johnson.

"You could tell that he went to a school that didn't have a sophisticated passing attack," Carter said of Johnson, a sixth-round draft pick out of Jackson (Miss.) State last year. "But he has phenomenal quickness and speed. Phenomenal. And his hands are better than you would think, from a guy that fast."

Then Carter offered up a surprising summation of Johnson's potential.

"He could start for the Vikings," said Carter, now an ESPN analyst.

Earlier in the offseason, Vikings coach Brad Childress lauded Johnson's work ethic, a compliment that flattered the young receiver. But he was floored by Carter's assessment.

I was wondering what happened to this guy, really liked what I saw/read last offseason and then...nothing. He may be too buried on the depth chart to do anything near term, but he's back on my long term radar again.

(RotoWire) The Vikings have placed Johnson on the waived/injured list, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune reports.

Analysis: Johnson broke his left thumb in Saturday's preseason opener and will have surgery to repair it. The typical recovery time for such an injury is six to eight weeks, so look for the team to reach an injury settlement with Johnson.

Bumped off the team by the play of Logan Payne (keep your eye out for this guy).
