Manuel Johnson SELECTED BY: Cowboys Round 7 (20)

SI Grade 3.20 GRADING SYSTEM

BIOGRAPHY: Broke into the starting receiver rotation as a freshman. Posted careers of 42/714/9 last season. Junior totals included 31/448/4.

POSITIVES: Inconsistent wide out who flashes ability in all aspects of the game. Sharp running routes, gets separation from opponents, and effectively comes back to the ball out of breaks. Displays consistent hands when he extends to snatch the pass away from his frame. Makes the reception in stride. Will play while hurt.

NEGATIVES: Unnecessarily lets the pass get inside him and does not consistently come away with the difficult reception. Struggles in battles. One-speed receiver and does not run away from defenders. Desire for the game has been questioned.

ANALYSIS: Johnson flashes a lot of skill on the field but has yet to pull together a complete game. He possesses the tools necessary to be a fourth receiver at the next level if he ever pulls it together.

PROJECTION: Free Agent
