Official Bio

Strengths:
Great athlete...Very good timed speed..Has decent range in coverage but will also come up and support the run...Physical and aggressive....Reliable tackler who can also deliver the knockout blow...Great leaper...Decent hands and ball skills...Smart with a high football IQ...A hard worker and team leader...Excellent special teamer.

Weaknesses:
Has trouble taking on and shedding blockers...Isn't real smooth or fluid...Will have trouble matching up with wideouts in man-to-man...Doesn't necessarily play to his workout numbers...Too aggressive at times...Questionable instincts & awareness.

Notes:
Given name is Marcellous Tyrell Johnson..Mother Patricia was sprinter at University of Arkansas...Was a four-year starter after redshirting in '03..Underrated prospect who flew under the radar in the Sun Belt conference...Doesn't really have the size you look for in a strong safety or the pure coverage skills of a free safety but saw action at both spots in college...Has the talent to be a starter at the pro level but at the absolute least he should be an outstanding backup and special teams ace.
