Smiler11 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Devon Johnson is definitely a guy to keep an eye on in 2015...6-1, 240+ lbs. He's spent time at TE, LB, FB and HB, and excelled at every spot. Great on special teams, good hands, can block and runs like a taller Michael Turner. Extremely athletic for his size (~ 4.6 forty).I think he could be a full-time HB in the right system, but for us I think he'd be better used as a FB/goal line runner and special teams ace. 2014 stats:rushing attempts: 206rushing yards: 1767 (8.58 YPC)rushing TD's: 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of God Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Doubt we draft a RB next year. I especially doubt we draft one before 6th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiler11 Posted May 19, 2015 Author Share Posted May 19, 2015 Doubt we draft a RB next year. I especially doubt we draft one before 6th.Really why? Antoine Smith is a FA, so we'd only have Coleman and Freeman on the roster. FB is hardly a spot we're set at either. Devon Johnson will probably go in the later rounds anyway and I'd want him as a fullback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FentayeJones Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 We only have 2 running backs under contract after next season so we will have to address it whether its FA or the draft. Maybe Jerome Smith will be ready to be elevated from the practice squad by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Jerome Smith will be ready to be elevated from the practice squad by then.I'm actually hoping that he plays well enough to make the roster this year. Last year, he only caught passes, on the few plays in which he was on the field. He's a bruiser. Let him bruise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of God Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I seriously think they will do something very late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romfal Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 IF he gets drafted, he will probably play FB based on the video I just watched above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
