Overview

It's rare to say that an offensive tackle prospect needs to bulk up muscle but Anton Johnson could use more mass and junk in the trunk as an offensive tackle prospect because his ability to withstand power from defensive lineman leaves much to be desired. It also doesn't help that his hand placement and technique when engaging isn't great and will need serious coaching early on to polish his game. However, he does have tremendous upside at the position due to his excellent athleticism that allows him to mirror edge rushers with relative ease as well as pick up speed to run over defenders in his path. He's got the foundation for good offensive tackle prospect in the NFL, he just needs extra weight room time and good offensive line coach and pass rusher across from him to polish his game and correct his mistakes.
