Coach Aaron Best on Johnson: “Josh kind of has the whole tool belt at the wide receiver position. He plays both ways, has some flash and plays with confidence. He can catch the 50-50 ball but he can also run the middle screen. He’ll attack you on defense and as a tackler and ball hawk. He’s a football player who happens to be 6-3, 190 and can play inside or outside. You can hand it off to him too, so you can put him in different spots. Coach (Pat) McCann was willing to forge the relationship with all of the receivers we recruited. We’re excited about Josh being a factor here for the next four to five years.”
