Evaluating The Value: Texas A&M LB Buddy Johnson

With their pick in their second fourth round (140) the Steelers take their second consecutive Texas A&M Aggie with the selection of inside linebacker Buddy Johnson.

While at A&M he played in 41 games with over 20 starts filling the stat sheet with over 200 tackles and 23.5 tackles for a loss. He led the team in tackles each of the last two seasons. He had good numbers at his Pro Day showing explosiveness and plays with a toughness and physicality the Steelers were lacking late in the season last year. He has the build of a BUCK linebacker who can learn the ropes from Vince Williams and provide depth in 2021.

Here is where he was ranked by some draft outlets.
