The one guy who might pan out is Robinson...if he learns how to catch and adjust to the ball in the air he has all the tools. The only thing lacking is the 2 most important tools in a WR toolbox.
Johnson was tied for third in tackles, had a 72 yd interception, 2 fumble recoveries, 1 sack and 1 TD. He did pretty well after a slow start.
His lack of starting to start the season hurt him. In fact sliding in to as starting spot at TCU due to injury hurt his chances of the NFL too.
I honestly was surprised Johnson didn’t get a look somewhere. The days of every linebacker being 6’5 and 250 are over.

He's 5'10 225. Those smaller dudes, like Patrick Queen and Devin Bush make up for their size with speed. Queen was a 4.5 guy and Bush a 4.4 guy. Johnson was a 4.7 guy, we know he could play, but you know how the NFL is with measureables.
Speaking of Johnson, I know he went to the XFL, but did he end up anywhere else after that? How about Antonio Jones Davis? They would be monsters in the CFL.
