Thanks Ninja and OTG. I've read a lot about Johnson but this is the first time i've been able to watch video of him. He looks really athletic, moves well and shows some good pass rush moves, especially going back inside. He even dropped into coverage once (although it was a touchdown). I'll have to watch a lot more of him because he looks to have a lot of potential and could be a big riser coming into the draft. I believe he also has experience playing 3-4 OLB before Virginia switched to a 4-3.

Ninja, I was wondering if you had any video of Whitney Mercilus, DE from Illinois or Adewayle Ojomo, DE from Miami. Mercilus is quickly rising up draft boards and Ojomo sounds interesting to me, almost like a poor mans Courtney Upshaw. Thanks for your hard work, you do a great job.

I'll save their names and I'll work on them. Have 2 ILL and 3 Miami games. Also, are they both Seniors?

Brother Wilfork, here's Whitney Mercilus.

Nothing on Ojomo, yet.

Brother Wilfork: Check out that Site: Draft BreakDown. They are terrific. As it stands, the best Scouting Videos I've been able to find, anywhere.

Any time they come up with a video on a Prospect ~ if I have a decent Scouting Report on him, which, oddly enough, I do not, on Mercilus ~ I put it at the very top of his Profile on FanaticalFootBallFiend.com, ahead of the entire lineup of Scouting Reports.

As you see, I've followed your advice, and mentioned it.

I'd really like to mention it more often: I get oceans of traffic just from Google, bless their hearts, so I don't need to for traffic's sake, and I think it could be a very usefull tool that many here probably aren't yet aware of...But as I'm sure you'll agree: there's a fine line between helping your fellow Pats fans and pimping a Site, which is why I'm so carefull to keep it Down Low: I don't wish to wear our my welcome, here. But it's been quite a while since I mentioned it, and the context seems appropriate, so I hope they won't mind.

Brother Ninja: I sincerely hope you don't mind my pointing Brother Wilfork in that direction. I'm sure you won't, as that's not your style. Furthermore, let me say this: Good videos ~ ones that point out the target player at the beginning of the play, and that show the good, the bad, AND the ugly ~ are still pretty rare, especially outside of the elite prospects. If you ever get obsessed enough to publish your own Site at any point, and if the videos are consistently good ~ DraftBreakDown's got two guys working on them, so I don't know if that's realistic to ask of you ~ I would seriously consider adding it to our Line Up, if you like. If BandWidth becomes a concern, I might have to choose the better one of two, but we'll burn that bridge when we come to it. Meanwhile...I'll be watching your career with great interest, Young Sir Ninja!!

I don't care. I only post prospects that Pats fans request of me.
Started off with Cameron Heyward...:cry2: (who I wanted w. the 28th or 33rd pick)
Then I did some vids of Ridley and Vereen after the draft b/c no one had videos of them and couple of my friends (pats fans) wanted to see them in action.
Used to do Pats games till youtube took all of them down...so it's basically back to prospects I like (Brewster) and other players that Pats fans like.
Also, the reason I include all the snaps the prospects play is b/c I want to show people the whole body of work in a game.

I've been using your site quite a bit the last few days, and it really is a great resource. Plus it has your own Off the Grid twist to it so it makes it exciting. I think the more posters on here that know about it and are exposed to the quality of information there will lead to and even more informed and educated debate on here. So pimp away my friend.

And with Ninja creating quality videos on prospects allowing us to create our own opinions on players, rather than just those in the media, the quality of discussion in the draft forum should continue to improve.

Excellent!! That is FAR better than watching an HighLight Reel!! :rocker:

Terrific and unique Video, Bro. I add my own thanks to the cacophony!!

I agree 100%!! :rocker:

And thanks for your kind words, Brothah!! Very gratifying that it's usefull to one of PatsFans' finest!!

Tough to evaluate a DL prospect against a horrible running QB like Harris.

But from what I saw, Johnson is not sudden and does not use his hands well. He does appear to have a better second step than first step. And he plays stronger than most speed rushers.

He really struggled to set or hold the edge on running plays, and loves to jump inside the OT, which BB will never allow.

I would be interested to see how he runs at the combine.
