The first round of the 2023 NFL draft has concluded and there’s dozens of talented players still on the board.
One in particular that could hear his name called soon is Texas running back Roschon Johnson. It may come as a surprise to some considering he served as Bijan Robinson’s backup throughout his collegiate career, but he’s reportedly strongly being considered as a Day 2 pick.
ESPN’s Matt Miller is high on Johnson and has stated he’s one of the few players he would “pound the table for” in the third round.
“The 219-pound power back has the patience, vision and receiving skills of a starter,” Miller said.
His exceptional character and leadership abilities off the field are an added bonus as well. Whether Johnson becomes a Day 2 or Day 3 pick, he’s poised to be a steal.
Let’s take a look at where recent NFL mock drafts have Johnson landing.
