Tyrell Johnson’s not well known in most parts, but this fast, strong, instinctive safety from Arkansas State is the real deal.
Against the Texas Longhorns last fall, Johnson didn’t just play well, he dominated. I saw this game live, and Johnson was unbelievable. 14 tackles, 10 of them solo. He hit Jamaal Charles in the backfield for a 6 yard loss — the 4.3 speed Jamaal Charles. And he picked off Colt McCoy in the red zone. Those are big plays, clutch plays, and physical plays. Johnson also picked off 13 passes in his career, started 46 games, and piled up over 350 tackles in that time.
This also confirms Minnesota has little love for Brohm or Henne.
