2019 NFL Draft: Taking a Closer Look At Lonnie Johnson

You’ve heard it before and you are about to hear it again. It’s the major theme of the Texans’ 2019 NFL Draft Class. Lonnie Johnson has potential, size, length, strength, positive traits, and could eventually develop into a starting cornerback, but as of right now, he isn’t a starting caliber NFL cornerback.

From an athletic stand point Johnson is a stoic figure who stands among his colleagues. He’s 6’2” 218 pounds. Has 32-5/8” arms. Pushed 225 15 times. Jumped high and far. And ran a 4.52 40 yard dash. His combine performance and body is only slightly different than Richard Sherman’s.
