Johnson lead the Black bears with sixty catches and two touchdowns, and brings an element of speed to the team with a 4.3 second 40 yard dash.
With this signing, the Patriots now have eleven individuals competing for a spot at wide receiver, and that is in no way a bad thing. Johnson comes in at 5-11 190-lbs and brings in that speed factor.
Johnson has also been building since his sophomore year, when a torn meniscus ended his season, but has shown great improvement ever since the injury. Here are his other stats from his tryout, according to NESN.com:
- 6.60-second three-cone drill
- 4.20-second short shuttle
- 10-foot-2 broad jump
- 33-inch vertical leap
With 11 guys competing for the open spot, training camp should get very interesting very quickly.
