Ed Hunt: How was it performing in the drills here at the Pro Day?
Olabisi Johnson: I was comfortable. This is my environment. You know I’ve been here for four years. This is easy. Running routes, that’s my niche.
Ed Hunt: How do you feel about your combine?
Olabisi Johnson: Is it ever enough? It’s never enough. I feel really good about it and I was really impressed with what some of the people had to say.
Ed Hunt: Has your agent given you an idea about which round you are going to go in?
Olabisi Johnson: I don’t really talk to him much about that. Some of the people say you’ll get drafted, but you never know. What happens is what happens, and I can control what I can control. I got to come out here and run routes like I do every day and see what these teams think about me.
Ed Hunt: Is there anything you could take away from the combine?
Olabisi Johnson: The whole experience, they try to beat you up mentally. They are going to put you in uncomfortable situations. You are going to sit in a room for an hour and a half or two hours before you run your 40. Overcoming adversity is a huge part of football and that’s what I really took away from it.
Ed Hunt: Do you have a favorite team or a team you hope to get drafted by?
Olabisi Johnson: I don’t really have a favorite team right now…but there’s no doubt I would love to be drafted by the Patriots. I’m not a bandwagon type of guy because they are Super Bowl Champions and everything. But it just would be exciting because of the way they utilize their receivers. I will block any day, but I will also run some shifty, good routes and see if Brady can give me the ball.
Ed Hunt: Where do you think you will fit better, in the slot or on the outside?
Olabisi Johnson: I think I’ll fit really good in the slot. I think I can do all the things they want those 5’9 guys to do. But I’m six feet. I’m good in and out of my breaks. I’m a savvy route runner.
