Chris Johnson

Everybody needs to watch out with this guy. He is a beast and if you have overlooked him prepare to be surprised. He ruled East Carolina for the past 4 years and is going to be a force in the NFL. Whoever gets him is going to get a steal if he drops to the second round. He ran a 4.24 40 for crying out loud. And did everyone see his performance against Boise State? He had over 400 all purpose yards against a top 25 team! I have a feeling his speed and talent will make him a name we will all know in the future. Along with David Garrard and Andrea Allison, he will put ECU on the map. I really hope the Panthers grab him. We need a tough big back more than a medium size speed guy but he would instantly make our return game unstoppable and he can be a great first down back when Deangelo is hurt or needs a rest. What do you guys think of him and where do you think he will go?

He really impressed me. Since I'm not in North Carolina anymore, I haven't really heard much about him. But I did watch the bowl game against boise State, and I was shocked. And then at the combine, he really showed the world that he is no joke. I'm excited to see how he does in the NFL.

Skip Holtz loves this kid and for good reason. He knows football and I think he's developed Johnson into a skilled player. All he needs is a chance with the right team. I'd love to have him as a kick returner.
