Cade Johnson-WR-South Dakota State

Another player that has caught my eye. He reminds me of a smaller version of Malcolm Mitchell who played at Georgia and then for the Patriots. Nothing particularly exceptional but he's a smooth route runner, great hands, dangerous with the football after the catch, he was super productive and consistent in college. Undersized overall, not super physical but consistently seems to work his way open. A standout performance at the Senior Bowl answered some concerns regarding his level of competition in the FCS. I think he could make an ideal slot receiver for this offense. Smart, steady and dependable, especially in the redzone. Can also contribute on special teams.

If there is one WR who has catapulted their draft stock it's #SouthDakotaState WR Cade Johnson(@cade_johnson). The body control and ball skills he possesses is captivating. It's almost likely watching @TDLockett12. Johnson gained a fan from me for sure. @seniorbowl #Eagles pic.twitter.com/fz44azq593

Cade Johnson is so freaking good. Backup QB throws into double coverage early in his first start and the All-American goes up and makes the play. #FCS pic.twitter.com/xA1558bK9J

Cade Johnson (South Dakota State) was one of the best wide receivers at the #SeniorBowl. Quickness, elusiveness and separation are all part of his skill-set.

I'm pretty sure @GoJacksFB WR Cade Johnson pitched a shutout in 1-on-1s and it was this rep that impressed me most. Fights through a strong punch from S Christian Uphoff (again-play thru contact!!) and gets back on track then makes the catch over the shoulder. Outstanding! pic.twitter.com/1r4i3kJKip

Outstanding rep from @GoJacksFB WR Cade Johnson. Wins with his eyes and shoulders at the top of the route. Johnson has had a really good week #TheDraftStartsInMobile #GoJacks pic.twitter.com/ei3ALVpKRa

He impressed me at the Senior bowl, and I love his separation skills, not sure he'll block well enough for Kyle, you'd think we'd accept that out of a rotational guy but it seems to hurt Richie James.
