Just wrote up Texas RB Roschon Johnson. A big back who flashes really impressive patience, vision, short area quickness, and power. Has a complete skill set to be a starter in the NFL. His reps as a pass blocker are

oh he's def legit
if he's really under the radar it won't be for long - PFF has him as their RB9 in their 317 page Draft Guide
- forced missed tackles 45% of rushing attempts, 1st in the country over the last two years (min. 190 attempts)
- 2022 he forced 46 missed tackles in 94 attempts lol
- 6'2", 222, good stiff arm (he looks long, too)
- great contact balance & just keeps churning
- won't win too many foot races but outstanding short yardage power back

Love the idea of him for sure. It’s just such a limited workload. Hard to say if he can translate to 200 NFL touches. I’m interested though.

Footballguy
That seems pretty optimistic for the RB9 / Day 3 pick
He reminds me of Jamaal from a running perspective - he'll be the thumper in a RBBC not a bell cow

Footballguy
True though when taking a thumper in a Williams role, if he can’t get close to 200 touches then he probably isn’t too useful for fantasy.

I like him a lot. He’s a really good player. Landing spot / draft capital will be interesting.

More of a plus-sized Ladanian Tomlinson.

Athleticism not so great, actually. 30th percentile is way below average, and his highlights look it, if you ask me.
Ilov80s
Footballguy
Is that size adjusted? His RAS score came out decent. Similar to Dameon Pierce which is probably best case scenario for Ro.

Footballguy
Yes. At least it said so.

I might switch to IDP just so I can draft some of the names in this draft...
- SirVocea Dennis LB Pittsburgh
- YaYa Diaby ED Louisville
- Starling Thomas V CB UAB
- Carrington Valentine CB Kentucky
- Moro Ojomo DI Texas
- DeMarvion Overshown LB Texas
- Habakkuk Baldonado ED Pittsburgh
- Kyu Blu Kelly CB Stanford
- Henry To'oTo'o LB Alabama
- Adetomiwa Adebawore ED Northwestern
Way more one cut and burst with Roschon than Bijan.
Bijan more Le'veon Bell type choppy steps, wait, go.
Roschon more Clinton Portis/Terrell Davis. Plant foot, go.
Roschon actually appeared to give a little burst when he came in. Aside from that, offense moved the same.

I saw his name and saw Roscoe. I've always loved that name.

These can’t all be real. At least half of these are key & Peele, right?

Ojomo, Baldonado, and Adebawore would all be a great fit for the Lions. Moro has 34-1/2" arms, bench pressed 30x at the Combine, one scouting report described "his work in the run game is a teaching tape. Adebawore ran 4.49 - dude is 282 lol. Can play 3- or 5-tech. Habakkuk is a project but dude moved to Florida by himself from Italy his senior year of h.s. and had 30.5 sacks at Clearwater Academy to secure a full ride.
Besides the football ability, all three are Nigerian, and the Lions have this awesome subculture bc they always have 6-8 Nigerians on the roster: Okudah, Eze, Julian & Romeoo Okwarwa, Onwuzurike, Oruwariye, plus a couple dudes from Cameroon. The Okwara brothers' parents host a traditional dinner for Independence Day every October. Just kind of a cool thing that helps with the whole camaraderie vibe they have going on in Detroit.

We'll see what the NFL has to say about that. After draft day, I don't think anyone, even those obviously trying to be contrarians, can legitimately make that case with a straight face.

day 2?
Interesting.
Tom Pelissero@TomPelissero
Busy week for Texas RB Roschon Johnson: two private workouts, three separate Zoom calls and a dinner with a team, per source. Johnson was known as a program guy with the Longhorns and has made a positive impression in the pre-draft process.
A projected Day 2 pick who could rise.

Weird to reply to the post removing the context. Almost makes a guy think your effort is disingenuous.
And to insert the context of the post back in - a few of those arrows have already disappeared relatively.

Roschon Johnson is a TANK
Johnson is reportedly drawing “buzz” of potentially coming off the board in the second round of the Draft.
Johnson put up over 2,000 yards and 20 TD’s across his career at Texas.

I want the Niners to draft Juice Scruggs very much. I do not care if he can play.

This was an easy call if you watched UT play. Or, if you didn't watch, you could legitimately make posts like this with a straight face.

All-Name Mock Draft (from Reddit)
- Carolina Panthers - QB Dresser Winn, University of Tennesee-Martin - The Panthers gave up a haul for the top pick this year, making it quite clear that they’re going up for a future franchise QB. Unfortunately, the all-name QB class this year is relatively weak, with only a couple of first round prospects. The Panthers nab the top guy here. Named after a piece of furniture with a last name that gives him an automatic +10 to his win
probability, Winn has been the odds-on favorite at this pick for months. - Houston Texans - EDGE Wardalis “Duck” Ducksworth, Memphis - The first surprise of the draft comes early, as the Texans don’t draft a QB, instead opting for the best-name-available in edge rusher Wardalis Ducksworth. I don’t know what to say that his name doesn’t say for itself. A first name that I’m pretty sure nobody else in the world has, a last name that sounds like it comes from English royalty, and a pithy animal nickname. Ducksworth should be a menace to QBs for the next decade at least.
- Arizona Cardinals - DT Blessman Ta’ala, Hawai’i - Ta’ala has arrived to shower the Arizona defense with his blessings. Praise be to the bless man.
- Indianapolis Colts - QB Braxton Burmeister, San Diego State - This is probably a bit of reach, but the Colts QB situation is dire, and they think they have the roster to compete if they can find the right QB. Burmeister provides alliteration and a silly-sounding last name. His name could be the comic relief in a Marvel comic, and that’s good enough to take a shot on here.
- Seattle Seahawks - OG Poutasi Poutasi, Northern Arizona University - Seahawks need help on the interior OL, and this guy has the name so nice they named it twice.
- Detroit Lions - DT Maximillian “Maxi” Hradecny, Duquesne University - 10 dollars to the first American to correctly pronounce “Hradecny”. Between that word scramble and the regal “Maximillian” which he has hilariously shortened to the name of a feminine hygiene product, this is a 10/10 nose tackle prospect.
- Las Vegas Raiders - K Briggs Bourgeois, Southern Miss - Maybe I’ve overplayed the joke at this point by using it in every one of these drafts, but “Raiders get a specialist with their first round pick” is an objectively hilarious meme, and I will listen to no comments to the contrary. Briggs Bourgeois has come to kick the dreams of the proletariat.
- Atlanta Falcons - CB Devious Christmon, Bethel University TN - This year’s version of Divine Deablo, I’m pretty sure that Devious Christmon is the antichrist hiding in plain sight. But he should be a hell of a CB until the day that he kickstarts the end of days.
- Chicago Bears - OT Ye’Majesty Sanders, Jacksonville State - Ye’Majesty’s 26.5 inch arms aren’t going to stop him from claiming dominion over the league which is his by birthright. Bow down to your majesty Ye’Majesty Sanders.
- Philadelphia Eagles - EDGE Shaheem Haltiwanger, Towson - This year’s winner of the “most Key & Peele name of the draft” award makes his way to Philadelphia.
- Tennesee Titans - WR Yo’Heinz Tyler, Ball State - The first receiver comes off the board, and he’s a good one. Every time you say his first name, you greet a ketchup bottle, and that’s just fantastic.
- Houston Texans - WR Mac Hippenhammer, Miami University (Ohio) - Having spurned the top QB prospects, Houston needs to surround their current QB room with more receiving talent. Hippenhammer’s name sounds like MC Hammer’s white alter ego.
- New York Jets - OT Malaesala Aumavae-Laulu, Oregon - I could totally be pronouncing his name wrong, but if I’m not, then “Sala” has 13 syllables in his name, and syllables count for a lot in this world.
- New England Patriots - CB Kyu Blu Kelly, Stanford - Kelly has two first names and no middle name, which is pretty cool. Also pretty confident that he is the only person in the world named “Kyu Blu”.
- Green Bay Packers - TE Maverick Wolfley, West Florida - The all-name tight end class is not very deep, but the Packers snag the clear top prospect. With a name like “Maverick,” he may need some disciplined coaching to keep him in line, but if that’s done right, Wolfley could be a perennial pro-bowler at the position.
- Washington Commanders - OT Jacky Chen, Pace University - Yes, his name is technically not Jackie Chan, but it’s going to sound like that every time the announcer says his name. And who wouldn’t want the Drunken Master protecting their QB’s blind side?
- Pittsburgh Steelers - CB Kortney Cox, Florida A&M - The Steelers snag the star of the hit 90s-00s sitcom Friends. I figured she’d be too old to play football at this point, but she had a relatively productive career with the Rattlers, so I’m certainly not in a position to age-shame.
- Detroit Lions - LB Seyddrick Lakalaka, San Diego State - The Lions continue to build their defense with a LB who was named by his mother while she was speaking tongues (probably).
- Tampa Bay Buccaneers - S Chris Bacon, Bowling Green - I searched far and wide to find this guy’s middle name, but I couldn’t. However, I’m going to mock him here just in case his middle name starts with a P. There’s like, a 1/26 chance, right? And if it doesn’t, I’m sure the Bucs could convince him to legally change it.
- Seattle Seahawks - EDGE Habbakuk Baldonado, Pitt - A biblical prophet. This man knows what the offense is going to do before they do.
- Miami Dolphins - C Chandler Dolphin, Utah State - I am officially reinstating this previously forfeited pick because I absolutely had to mock the guy named Dolphin to the Dolphins. Sure, they have a center, but Connor Williams can always shift out to guard. Nobody should deny Dolphin to the Dolphins.
- Los Angeles Chargers - WR Chancellor Brewington, Nebraska - Chancellor Brewington sounds like the cartoonish rich kid bully who just moved to the TV small town from his mansion in Newport.
- Baltimore Ravens - CB De’Jahn “Nugget” Warren, Jackson State - I tend to avoid names that are only great because of their nicknames, but when you combine this guy’s first name with his nickname, it sounds like “dijon nugget”, which is delicious.
- MInnesota Vikings - LB Reidgee Dimanche, Stony Brook - I realize LB isn’t a top need for Minnesota, but there are too many good LB names, I was running out of slots, and it was at least listed as a secondary need. This is an incredible spelling of “Reggie,” and Dimanche is a fun last name to say as well.
- Jacksonville Jaguars - DT Muhindo Kapapa, University of San Diego - Try to say this name only once. You can’t. You say it once, and you want to say it again. And again. And again. Muhindo Kapapa.
- New York Giants - OG Will Lay III, Georgia Tech - Not only does he expect to lay, but he will lay, and he will do it thrice.
- Dallas Cowboys - RB Percy Agyei-Obese, James Madison - I know we all debate the value of RBs in the first round, but this man’s last name is obese. Obese. Ignore the fact that it is likely pronounced oh-beh-say. His name is obese.
- Buffalo Bills - LB Exree Loe, West Virginia - What the hell kind of name is Exree? The crazy thing is, I discovered that he’s not even the first college athlete named Exree from a college with “Virginia” in its name. What are the odds of that?
- Cincinnati Bengals - RB Israel Abinkanda, Pitt - A man with abs made out of anacondas with the power of a whole damn country should have no problem holding down the Cincy backfield with Joe Mixon quite possibly on his way out.
- New Orleans Saints - DT Zion Famer, Tiffin - The Saints need to beef up their interior DL, and who better to do it than a farmer from the Promised Land.
- Philadelphia Eagles - LB Bumper Pool, Arkansas - Like I mentioned above, I don’t like using nicknames, but here’s the thing. Bumper Pool legally changed his name to Bumper at age 16. No joke. Bumper Pool is his real government name.
- Kansas City Chiefs - EDGE YaYa Diaby, Louisville - YaYa can mean either nanny or grandmother depending on who you’re talking to. Either one should provide good leadership for the front seven.
