Collin Johnson is having quite the week in Mobile, Alabama in preparation of the Senior Bowl. His route running and catches have been a site to see during practices this week.

Watch as Johnson makes a catch in the back of the end zone, showing that he can make the high concentration grab and as a bonus gets both feet down. A little different from college football that only requires one. Here is a view of the same catch from a different angle.

This week Johnson had quite the performance and showed exactly what he brings to the table. Both he and Devin Duvernay caught three of four passes in the one on one drills today. Johnson has the size and really showed a bit of wiggle that allowed him to create some separation. Which was his biggest knock during his time at Texas, could he create enough separation at the NFL level.
Devin Duvernay didn’t have the same type of week in terms of highlight reel catches but he showed off his biggest attribute which is his strong hands. In college he didn’t drop a single pass and that is invaluable at the next level.

The calling card from Duvernay is going to be speed and route running. Both of which he does at a high level, many teams at the next level could use a player with his skillset.

What the duo was able to do in Mobile this week can only help their draft status this week. Currently seen as day three prospects, the wide receivers could find their way to the second day of the draft with consistent showings this week in practice.
