Coming out of Wake Forest in the 2015 NFL Draft, lots of teams had their eyes on Kevin Johnson. They saw him as the next great cornerback, saying he was going to be a ball hawk at the next level. Teams raved about his coverage skills, his great catch up speed and his smooth movement in coverage.
However, teams did note that he can be overly aggressive at times, falling for double moves. They also saw his slight frame at 180 pounds being a concern in the run game. While he would go up and compete for jump balls, teams noted that at just 6′ he would be at a disadvantage against bigger receivers.
