Do you think Jermaine Johnson will be selected in the top ten?
If you pay attention to college football, you must know that the defensive front line at the University of Georgia this year is very dominant. Even Jermaine Johnson, who transferred from the University of Georgia, has even become one of the most promising passers this year. Recently, more and more rumors have flowed out that many teams see him as a top ten player. Now, let's analyze Johnson's technical characteristics.

- Does not lose position due to rushing passes, and can make a continuous contribution when defending against runs
- Course leader with strong mental attributes and good at inspiring teammates
- Physically strong iron man, often able to play every defensive gear of the game
Weakness analysis
- Except for the body forward change, there are not many punching techniques
- Very mediocre before transferring to Florida State University
-Three-point start is a bit sluggish
summary
For Jermaine Johnson, his most prominent strength is his static talent. A pair of long arms and a pair of large hands are perfect for the position of the punching passer. Although he is lighter, he is not a pure-throwing player, and his contribution to the defensive end is very rare. In addition, his mental attributes are also the reason why he is liked by many coaches. Every stall is fully committed, but you can still play the whole field with your excellent physical strength, and you have always been the spiritual leader who encourages the team to tense up on the field, and with such a player in the team, you can not worry about the laziness of the team.
But while Johnson ran a 40-yard score of 4.58 seconds on the composite test, his athleticism was significantly different from that of Kaiwan Thibodeau, who also ran 4.58 seconds. The speed at three o'clock starts can even appear a little sluggish, which often gives the opposing offensive line ahead of him. In addition, apart from some "European steps" that change direction, he doesn't seem to have much of another arsenal when he rushes through.
Overall, as a good defensive passer, Johnson joining the team is likely to be able to determine that the lower limit of this defensive group will not be too bad, but it is difficult for him to bring a qualitative leap to the team in an instant. He will definitely be selected in the first round, and even if there are teams that really like him, he may indeed be selected in the top ten picks, but whether he will be worthy of the top ten picks is still unknown.
