Johnson didn’t post flashy numbers but he has great traits as a receiver. The 2-star prospect from Lakewood, Colorado accepted the scholarship offered to him by Colorado state over offers extended to him by Army and Northern Colorado. Bisi was overshadowed by guys like Michael Gallup and Preston Williams the past couple of seasons but he may be well regarded in scouting circles because of his natural ability at the position. He got to the national stage when he received a Combine invite and posted impressive test numbers. Still Johnson will have to prove he can at least keep up the volume he posted in college. He has some special teams experience as a kick and punt returner but wasn’t very good so he’ll have to also make his way on special teams as a coverage man. Still Johnson is an intruding late round option at receiver who could surprise as a contributor at the next level.StrengthsGood size, quickness, and athleticism for the position.Johnson wins with his short area quickness and crisp routes. He runs them with precision and understand the nuance of selling his defender. He is especially effective at comeback routes where he can create separation at the top.Natural reliable hands that can haul in passes at a variety of catch points. Looks passes in completely and is more advanced than some of his peers in this area. and is a willing blocker.Has experience playing outside and inside.WeaknessesInconsistent play speed doesn’t match his test numbers. Not much of a threat after the catch on the run because he goes down easy. Ran a simple route tree at CSU and will have to show he can handle the more complex stuff.Doesn’t have that second gear to really challenge vertically.Let’s see his work:More Olabisi Johnson videosHow He Would Fit On The RedskinsJohnson is this year’s Ryan Grant or Trey Quinn. I guarantee Jay Gruden has come up with all sorts of interesting colloquialisms and praise for Johnson in the film room. He isn’t flashy, he isn’t a physical specimen, he’s just a guy that can run really good routes and catch the ball really well. I’m sure there is a spot for him on this team as long as Gruden is the coach. For what its worth I think Johnson could have a really nice season or two in his career in the right offense. I don’t think the Redskins offense conceptually is bad for him at all. Gruden loves those short comeback routes on the outside. He could be a surprise relatively soon in his career if he could work his way into the receiver rotation. The type of routes he’s good at are the exact type of thing Gruden (or O’Connell?) are going to implement to help out a new QB in the offense. Keenum is much better when he’s throwing the short stuff too. Also, it’s not like Johnson is slow. If he’s given the right look he can be a threat with the intermediate stuff as well. I think Johnson will be exposed to more variety of routes in the NFL and that he’ll handle that learning curve fine. I could see him having a nice contributing role like Chester Rogers in this offense. 15. WASHINGTON(7-9)LAST SEASON: Redskins were cruising toward playoffs at 6-3 when QB Alex Smith broke right leg and injuries hit hard. Team went to Colt McCoy, Mark Sanchez and Josh Johnson on offense and fell apart at big times on defense, losing six of final seven games to fall out of contention.FREE AGENCY: S Landon Collins is big addition after 17 different players started at position in Jay Gruden's five seasons as coach. Redskins added OL Ereck Flowers https://www.theredskinslockerroom.com/authentic-dwayne-haskins-jersey , who could play guard, but also lost OT Ty Nsekhe to Buffalo, LB Preston Smith to Green Bay, and WR Jamison Crowder to Jets. They also acquired QB Case Keenum in trade with Denver.THEY NEED: QB, WR, TE, G, LB, CB Womens Dwayne Haskins Jersey , STHEY DON'T NEED: RB, OT, C, DLPOSSIBLE FIRST PICK: Ohio State QB Dwayne Haskins; Florida State edge rusher Brian Burns; Clemson edge rusher Clelin Ferrell.OUTLOOK: Despite having McCoy and adding Keenum, Redskins will likely draft or acquire (Josh Rosen?) developmental QB to succeed Smith eventually. Receiver looks like glaring need in early rounds, but Gruden likes Josh Doctson, Paul Richardson and 2018 pick Trey Quinn. Redskins have so many holes to fill that almost any position is possible at 15 except for defensive line after taking Alabama's Jonathan Allen and Daron Payne in past two first rounds.
