Continuing to look at potential wide receiver options for the Seahawks.
His best attribute is his ability to make plays after the catch. He runs almost like a running back with the ball in his hands, bringing a thump as well as having multiple moves in his pocket to make defenders miss. Johnston is able to consistently make the first defender miss either with a sidestep or a strong stiff arm. After that he uses his elite burst and acceleration to beat defenders to the edge or run away from them entirely.
On deep balls he has the football intelligence to use his inside arm and hand to create a little more separation through hand slaps to the defender's arm. Johnston tracks deep shots without losing a step and he easily traces the ball over his shoulder into his hands.WeaknessesJohnston does not have any advanced route running tendencies in terms of creating separation with hip, shoulder or head movement.
Johnston ran a relatively limited route tree at TCU running mainly slants, hitches, and 7 through 9 routes. The few double moves he did run looked sloppy and choppy as he slowed down too much and created very little separation with them.
