2019 NFL Draft: Texas LB Gary Johnson scouting report
The Longhorns leading tackler last season should sneak into the back end of the draft, and that’s good enough for the high-upside linebacker simply seeking a shot. When Gary Johnson announced his commitment to the Texas Longhorns just days before National Signing Day in 2017, the coveted linebacker, who was once pledged to Alabama, immediately inherited some lofty expectations. Some of the expectations he’s since shouldered in burnt orange came courtesy of the title he carried as the top-ranked JUCO linebacker in his class; some of them from the label he’d later adopt as the...
