Title: ***NFL Draft Player Preview: Teyo Johnson***
Post by BarnabyWilde on Jan 31^st, 2003, 7:40pm

Teyo Johnson
Wide Reciever/Tight End
Stanford
6-7, 240 pounds

This one is for Philly!

Teyo Johnson is an intriguing player. He is huge, at 6-7 240. He will create enormous matchup problems, for he is too big for a corner and too fast for a linebacker. He only averaged 11.2 yards a catch this year, but had 8 td's. Would be great to have someone his size around the goal line!

Draft prognosis: Should hear his name called after a few hours. See him going late first, to maybe a Green Bay or New York (Giants)

I'm not much into College Football Barnaby, so you'll have to forgive me, but, is this the next Shockey?

I don't think I'd quite compare him to Shockey. To me, he is a bigger, faster McCaffrey. He could play either the WR ot TE spot in the pros, depending on the system he goes to. He could be a force in a few years.

I saw the height and thought back to those 70s-80s Eagles teams with Harold Carmichael - who was 6'-8" at WR. Not a whole lot of speed, but caught a lot of balls.

I think intriguing is the right word for him. I've seen the stats and all, but haven't seen him play.

Is there anyone who saw him play this year? I'd be very interested in an assessment (e.g., speed, hands, power, etc.)
