Talk:Tyrell Johnson (American football)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Guess the "high draft pick" line depends on what one considers high. Most mocks have Johnson somewhere in the middle of the second round up to the fourth round. CiTrusD Talk here! 00:37, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
We dont have to worry about this anymore since he was drafted--Yankees10 23:35, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] New Info Proposal
I propose putting the following information in about his draft: "Tyrell initially was projected to be drafted in the third round because he was perceived to have come from a smaller school with inferior competition to schools like the University of Miami where competing safety Kenny Phillips came from. While Johnson impressed at the Hula Bowl, it wasn't against the elite talent needed to ease scouts' concerns about his level of competition. The Hula Bowl was the most high profile all-star game Johnson was invited to. [1]
Johnson impressed yet again at the Scouting Combine, leading all safeties tested with 27 bench press reps at 225 pounds and a 10'7" broad jump. He finished in the top five in the 40 (4.42) and vertical jump (32") as well. Tyrell's draft stock went up over the last few weeks leading up to the draft as scouts reviewed his tapes. Mel Kiper and Mike Mayock both had him listed as the top safety in the draft.[2] Jason La Canfora of the Washington Post wrote that he his sources told him Johnson could go as high as to Philadelphia at 19th overall [3].
When Tyrell was available in the second round, the Vikings moved up four places in the second round to ensure he wasn't taken by another team. In order to move up four places the Vikings traded their next available pick, a 4th rounder, for Philadelphia's 5th round pick." Considering he was the Vikings first pick this year and considering the fact that he hasn't had an NFL career yet, I think this is good information to include in any article about this player. Right now the article looks like a stub page.- 67.137.0.28 (talk) 05:58, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
