2015 Atlanta Falcons Potential Draft Pick Profile: RB Duke Johnson

April 18, 2015   ·   Scott Carasik   ·   Jump to comments

The Atlanta Falcons need an ideal fit for the zone-blocking scheme to team with Devonta Freeman in 2015. Duke Johnson is one of the best fits for the scheme in the entire draft. He's got good top-end speed and was ridiculously productive under the scheme in college.
Johnson is a unique running back in that he was able to amass over 4,200 all-purpose yards over his three collegiate seasons despite getting just 595 touches per season. That's an average season of 198 touches for over 1,400 yards of production. If he does that in the pros, he'll be a great committee back.
