It’s 25 Days of Draftmas on Arrowhead Pride, where we’ll be giving you a Kansas City Chiefs draft prospect every day in April leading up to the NFL Draft. You’ll get a daily prospect profile like this one right up until Draft Day.Lonnie Johnson, cornerback6’2” | 213 lbs | KentuckyDraft grade: third roundDraft range: third round40 time: 4.52NFL Combine: 38.0” vertical jump, 129” broad jump, 4.1 20-yard shuttle, 7.01 three-cone drill, 15 bench reps2018 Stats:four pass breakups, one interception, 23 tacklesBackground: State champion long jumper and 4x100 relay runner during high school in Gary, Indiana. Spent his first two years of eligibility at Garden City Community College. Second-team All-Kansas Jayhawk CC Conference as a freshman with five interceptions. Sat out his sophomore year to concentrate on academics.Strengths: Johnson has good size and length for the position, and his physical attributes translate well to a press-man scheme at the next level. He attacks underneath routes quickly Christian Okoye Jersey , driving on the ball and using his length to narrow windows. He shows the ability to put together the whole package on his jam, with good hands and footwork. Johnson shows enough speed to be trusted against receivers on the boundary.At the Senior Bowl in Mobile, he held his own well and showed development. He was exposed to multiple techniques at Kentucky under new Chiefs linebackers coach Matt House.Weaknesses: Despite exposure to several different coverage shells, Johnson didn’t perform well outside of press-man coverage. Johnson’s hips are very wooden and limit his change-of-direction ability — particularly in off-man coverage. He routinely gets turned around and loses sight of the receiver on inside breaking routes. With his back to the ball, he rarely turns his head around to locate the pass in the air. Johnson’s lack of production — only one interception at Kentucky — shows up on tape with his inability to attack the ball at the catch point.How he fits with the Chiefs:Johnson might get a stamp of approval from House as a hard worker with good athletic traits, but he has very poor film and looks to be just a press-man corner at the next level. The Chiefs could take a flyer on him as a developmental project, but with Steve Spagnuolo’s rotating coverage schemes and need to adapt on the fly, Johnson isn’t a match made in heaven for this squad.Player comp: James BradberryKC Draft GuideThe first-ever edition of the KC Draft Guide is available for download now for only $9.99!

Patriots quarterback Tom Brady sat his rookie season too, and then played really well his second year.That’s about the extent of the similarities he sees between himself and Patrick Mahomes.During his weekly spot on WEEI, Brady said the changes in the football landscape now make it hard to compare him taking over for Drew Bledsoe and Mahomes taking over for Alex Smith.“Football was different then. I think now Marcus Allen Jersey , in some ways, pro football is more glorified college football. Maybe the transition is a more similar game than what it used to be when I first started,” Brady said, via Mike Reiss of ESPN.com.“I think football now, removing some of the physical elements of the game, it’s more of a space game, you see a lot of college plays more in the pro game than what I remember when I started. That’s kind of how things have went over the last bunch of years.”The Chiefs are certainly running a different offense than Brady was or is, and Brady noted the Chiefs tailoring what they do to their platoon of skill position talent.Brady’s boss was also effusive, for him, in his praise of Mahomes.Asked what impressed him about the Chiefs quarterback, Bill Belichick replied:聽“Pretty much everything.”“He gets the ball to all of his receivers quick, quick release, sees things quickly Larry Johnson Jersey , can extend plays . . . makes good decisions, accurate, gets the ball out on time.”Yes, that’s one way to put it.Mahomes is112-of-176 for 1,513 yards with 14 touchdowns and two interceptions in his first five starts this year, winning all five.In Brady’s first five starts in 2001 after Bledsoe was injured, he was 99-of-159 for 1,023 yards, with seven touchdowns and four interceptions, going 3-2 along the way.
