Wide Receiver Rank: #3
Overall: #18
Johnson had a hodge-podge group of quarterbacks throwing to him last season, but that didn't slow him. He had a breakout sophomore season, totaling 1,331 yards and 12 touchdowns. Johnson also averaged an impressive 17 yards per reception. He made it clear why the Lions used a first-round pick on him a few years back. And if the Lions offense improves any, Johnson could actually get better. He reminds you of a young Randy Moss. Johnson is a big receiver with speed, athletic ability and the knack for making the big play. He does drop a pass on occasion, but you can live with that because of all the good things he does.

Johnson vaults into No. 1 receiver status this season. The only thing holding him back is he plays for a bad team. If he were on the Cardinals or Patriots, Johnson might be the top rated receiver this season. But don't let the Lions scare you too much. He seems poised to exceed last season's already impressive numbers. |
