2011 NFL Draft Prospect: Jerrod Johnson, Texas A&M

Jerrod Johnson- QB- Texas A&M

6-5 243lbs Senior

Stats:

2007 -  50 Yards, 28.6 Completion Rate, 2 Touchdowns, 0 Interceptions, 111 Rushing Yards, 3 Rushing Touchdowns

2008 – 2435 Yards, 59.5% Completion Rate, 21 Touchdowns,  10 Interceptions, 114 Rushing Yards, 3 Rushing Touchdowns

2009 – 3579 Yards, 59.6% Completion Rate, 30 Touchdowns, 8 Interceptions, 506 Rushing Yards, 8 Rushing Touchdowns

Pros:

Jerrod Johnson has tremendous mobility, which was a must last year with the below average Aggie Offensive Line.  His awareness of what was around him is also a plus, and when he needs to Jerrod can escape trouble in the pocket with ease.  Has above average arm strength, just wings it down the field.  He has good ball placement on the shorter passes. 

Cons:

Jerrod Johnson has a long wind up on his mid to long range throws, it comes out at a 3/4 angle.  Looks to run out of the pocket before looking at a WR, but this could be due to the Offensive Line mentioned previously.  When he does find a Receiver to throw to, he locks on that player.  When throwing the mid to deep balls, he doesn’t hit his wideout in stride on a regular basis, makes them adjust to his throws.  The Pro Style offense could confuse him.

Thoughts:

Jerrod Johnson should have some very impressive numbers in 2010, a 3800/34/7 season wouldn’t surprise me.  He has all the tools to be a very good qb in the NFL, but it wouldn’t hurt to sit on the bench and learn for a couple seasons.

Projected Round:

Jerrod Johnson should be gone by late in the 3rd round.  If he stays healthy and carries the Aggies to the Big 12 Title game as I think he will, then a 2nd round pick isn’t out of the question.
