While the wide receiver room was loaded with shifty speedsters, Johnson stood alone as the prototypical physical option of the group.
Johnson is plenty fast in his own right, but Michigan needed a receiver who could go up and snag the ball from the air and dominate in the red zone. He was able to show this at times, but it still feels like his development is not yet complete. Johnson heads into his junior year with the chance to break out in a big way.
