Caleb Johnson's Potential and Limitations
Caleb Johnson, a running back from Iowa, showcases a combination of size and speed, standing at 6'1” and weighing 224 pounds. He recorded an impressive 1,537 rushing yards and 21 touchdowns in his last season, benefiting from a strong offensive line. While he exhibits good patience and the ability to let blocks develop, his play style is considered too soft for his size, lacking the decisiveness and aggression expected from a bigger back. Additionally, concerns regarding his pass protection skills and the overall impact of his performance on fantasy football resonate, suggesting he may require a favorable situation to achieve RB1 numbers.
