It made it easier to block the defensive line since teams weren’t allowed to blitz. Johnson didn’t record a sack as a result, but he had a huge hit on Davis Webb in the second half and finished with three tackles on the afternoon.
Johnson put pressure on the quarterback all game and stuffed the running lanes. He showed his strength by pushing his blocker back on almost every play.
In fact, according to Pro Football Focus, Johnson had the fourth highest defensive grade on the North’s team at 77.1. Lorenzo Jerome led the defense with two interceptions and a grade of 85.
Johnson didn’t get a ton of coverage since he didn’t record a sack, fumble or intercept a pass, but he continued to help his draft stock by showing his intangibles and dominating the South’s offensive line all game.
