NFL Draft: 5 Most Eye-Catching Prospects

2. OT Lane Johnson Oklahoma

Just like Terron Armstead is, Lane Johnson is an eye-catching prospect as they come. Johnson has the speed, strength, size, and technique to succeed at the NFL level. A former quarterback turned tight end turned offensive tackle will make his mark in the NFL soon. At the Senior Bowl he was a brick wall. No defender was getting passed Johnson and he dominated the competition. Johnson then performed extremely well at the NFL Combine when he ran a 4.72 40 yard dash, 34 inch vertical jump, 118 inch broad jump, 7.31 broad jump, and a 4.52 20 yard shuttle. So basically he topped out at almost every drill. His tape backs him up as well. He even shows the aggression that most offensive linemen in the NFL have. There's no doubt in any general managers mind that he will be a day 1 starter when training camp arrives.
