Player Notes

Zion Johnson Bio

• Zion Johnson is as pro-ready as you could realistically expect an O-lineman to be as a prospect
• Has some of the strongest hands in this class, alongside a great anchor
• Has very smooth feet combined with excellent balance; paired with his shorter leverage, which will allow him to be great against speed-rushers from the interior
• Will fit in any scheme and block well in both run and pass from the get-go
• Doesn’t have elite physical traits which keep his potential from being at the level of a Guard like Quenton Nelson
• Size and get-off limit him to the inside; not the greatest value
