Diontae Johnson’s rookie season is now a thing of the past. Those days are behind him now, but with that comes game tape that upcoming opponents have and will scrutinize.
An issue that will immediately jump out when watching Johnson is his inconsistency with ball security.
Where the quarterback places his throws is vital for receivers, especially new guys, so Diontae’s drops could’ve quickly been passed off as a by-product of subpar quarterback play.
Unfortunately, though, ball instability was an issue that went unaddressed at Toledo. In three seasons with the Rockets, Johnson’s erratic ball skills led to 17 drops and four fumbles.
Johnson needs to get his hands properly aligned to catch the football consistently. And once he does, adhere to the five points of pressure for a ball carrier.
If Johnson can refine his ball security technique, it could catapult him from good to great in 2020
