-Leadership
-Heart
-Intelligence
-Versatility

Cons:
-Athleticism
-Size
-Penetration
-Production

Overall:
Will Johnson is your consummate guy who plays with his heart left out on that field every Saturday. He goes hard on every play and has fire to his game. There is no question that Johnson lacks the skills of the elite players at his position, but at the same time, almost nobody else at DT can compete with his effort. Johnson projects as a 4-3 UT, or as a potential 3-4 DE, depending on where he goes. Johnson is an extremely smart player and uses that to his advantage on the field in making the offense pay for getting sloppy. Johnson will never be a huge playmaker on the field, his penetration skills need a lot of work and his production has never been through for the former prep star. But if there is one thing you can't teach its heart and this kid has that.
