Leonard Johnson, DC, Iowa State – 5097 196 4.55 Four-year starter who is confident and competitive in his play. Lowered his forty time at his pro day from 4.71 to 4.55. He played at the 4.55 speed. Keeps outside leverage. Could track and trail Ryan Broyles from Oklahoma and make plays on the ball. Johnson is all about effort and taking good angles. Very physical for his size. Good wrap up tackler. Can make the open field tackle on running backs. Does a nice job of cutting off receiver’s routes at times. Good ball reactions to play the ball in the air. Will adjust to the ball then go for the strip. Has small hands and short arms for the position. He mirrors cuts well in man to man coverage. Flashes a burst in transition. Good short area quickness. Shorter than ideal. Needs to be more consistent in his overall game to make a roster. Will relish the opportunity to play on all special teams. 2011 stats: 72 tackles, 8 PBU, 1 INT, 1 FF, 4 FR. BTR:left 4.78, right 4.80. OSR:30/35. Fourth/ fifth round. (A-28 3/4, H-8, VJ-32, SS-4.15).
