Kaleb Johnson has all the potential in the world to be an every-down running back in the NFL, but he has one major hurdle to clear for that to be possible. His pass protection is a work in progress coming out of Iowa, and he’s been working hard to rapidly improve. He may already be showing big progress over the first few padded practices of training camp.
After thoroughly struggling during Wednesday’s first backs on ‘backers drill, Johnson came back on Friday Night Lights and won his reps. RB coach Eddie Faulkner was visibly excited watching his rookie back step up his performance.
