Roschon Johnson came to Texas as a dual-threat quarterback and ended up playing H-Back/tight end his first year in their system before moving to running back. Texas continued to use Johnson in their wildcat package, which he played effectively. He’s potentially an immediate starter at the NFL level with good running ability, he is a capable receiver out of the backfield, and one of the best pass protectors in the class.

Roschon Johnson scouting notes

Pros:

• Has excellent cut ability. Looks borderline great at times. 
• Has a good nasty bit of running power to his game. 
• Fairly explosive. 
• Reads blocks pretty well. Appears to understand defenders fairly well. 
• Runs between tackles pretty well. 
• Capable route runner out of the backfield. 
• Great power as a pass blocker. Nasty, physical, overpowering. 
• Excellent quickness and can handle a lot of power with relative ease. 

Cons:

• Good, not great, speed. He doesn’t look like he has the speed to break away in the open field. 
• Doesn’t seem to be as effective in space. Struggles to break runs on stretch concepts. 
• Didn’t start much at Texas – mostly because he was the backup to Bijan Robinson.
