Tackle Parris Johnson Jr. hasn’t received a ton of recognition in the draft process so far, but he fits the bill for what you look for in a franchise Tackle prospect. He has the prototypical size and athleticism for an LT and will be entering the league with good run-blocking traits. Coming out of high school, he was a five-star recruit and played his first year as a starter at right guard. He was a very good run blocker at RG but struggled in pass-pro. Since converting to Tackle, his pass protection has significantly improved, which is a great sign to see. He didn’t have a lot of wowing highlights, but he showed a lot of traits that will translate to the pros and was consistent in pass-pro. There are a lot of things he needs to improve, but the upside is clearly there. His strengths and weaknesses will all be broken down here in a comprehensive manner.
Two games from his Sophomore year, as well as three games from his Junior year, were evaluated. This scouting report includes grades on all relevant traits which were based on his film. Stats and analytics, such as PFF grades, were also factored into his scouting report. Thank you to both TFG and PFF for inspiring this draft content.

In this clip above, Johnson Jr. initially gives up the inside but he then recovers and uses his massive wingspan to grab hold of the pass rusher.
In this clip, he isn’t in a traditional pass set, but he manages to push the EDGE five yards upfield to allow the QB to scramble. This is both a good technique and great raw power.
Here he shows off his high-end athleticism and makes a great block leaving the linebacker on the ground.
