Johnson missed half the year with a calf injury, but 20 tackles and two late sacks were a real step forward. I have him at a five. He plays hard and has earned a rotational job; now he needs to stay healthy and create pressure before December.
Strengths: Johnson brings a good motor, functional edge strength and improving finish. Three sacks in 18 career games show some usefulness in a limited rotation.
Weaknesses: He has missed significant time, never started and lacks a consistently winning rush move. His impact has come in short stretches rather than every week.
