The announcers were saying something to the effect that the Steeler coaches are really high on Johnson. I can see why. He is fluid, fast, and big. He has nice hands. I don't remember him blowing people up, but I wasn't watching him block either.

John L Williams comes to mind. He didn't BLOW people up either but he did his job in that dept and could catch the ball out of the backfield.

That was the name I have been trying to remember. Thank you. I agree that Will J. does have a lot in common with John L. Both can actually run and catch.
[QUOTE=hawaiiansteel;522742]me neither...[/QUOTE]I seen two nice blocks he had. Could of had more but I was nt watching him that close.

Nice comparison...I'm cautiously optimistic about Johnson.

I watched John L Williams. I liked John L Williams. John L Williams was a favorite of mine. Will Johnson is no John L Williams...

Would you be more happy with Larry Centers???

Maybe not but the kid has played one game after being away from football for an entire year and he has already looked better than David Johnson. IMO that is a big win for the good guys. The kid will only improve.

Not necessarily IS, but definite COULD BE. Kid has legit athletic abilities like John L.
More than an undersized Guard playing in the backfield.
