2019 NFL Draft: 11 Sleepers to watch from East-West Shrine Game

2. KeeSean Johnson, WR, Fresno State

The name sounds the same (even if spelled differently) from the former 1996 No. 1 overall pick Keyshawn Johnson. KeeSean Johnson, however, isn’t going to hear his name in the first round. Even still, there’s arguably no wide receiver with a greater chance to hear their name called in the top 100 at the Shrine Game.

Believe it or not, Johnson does share a trait with the three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver that his name is a homonym with: fantastic hands. Johnson catches everything that comes his way. Outside of his hands, Johnson’s savvy style of making himself visible to the quarterback is second to none.

For starters, despite his long 6-2 frame, Johnson is great at breaking off his routes. He doesn’t have trouble bending and displays solid torque in his routes. Although he isn’t overwhelmingly athletic, he doesn’t need to get physical to separate from coverage downfield.

Whether it’s inside at the slot or on the boundary, Johnson has the ability to produce immediately in the nFL. Moreover, when he catches the ball, he’s a terror for defensive backs. What he doesn’t have in quickness he makes up for with tenacity and grit, fighting for yardage after the catch.

Although he’s a plug and play prospect, Johnson likely won’t hear his name called on the first two days of the draft — even if he should. Nevertheless, no matter where he goes, his team will reap the benefits with a steal on Day 3.
