Thanks Daniel. I'm not very Internet savvy. Where do I find your CB picks?

Saw this piece regarding Gary Johnson:

Jeff Howe (24/7)

The most interesting tidbit we picked up from Texas’ offseason workouts over the past week has been the sudden impact made by Gary Johnson. The No. 1-ranked junior college inside linebacker prospect in the 2017 recruiting cycle has hit the ground running in Austin. A team source said that during a recent conditioning session where the skill position players on the team were running sprints, Johnson was leading the pack the entire way through the drill.

Johnson is said to be setting the pace in workouts and the coaches who’ve been around him during his short time on campus are said to be extremely impressed with what he’s bringing to the table every day. “This guy is a freak athlete,†the team source said. “For a linebacker to look as good physically as he does and then be able to run like a deer is one of the most impressive things you’ll see. I can’t wait until he puts pads on to see if it carries over to the field.â€

According to the source, the plan Todd Orlando has for how to use Johnson is to put him at the Mack position next to Malik Jefferson (Rover). Orlando will wind up letting the inside linebackers on the squad cross-train at both positions before the Longhorns really dig into planning for the season opener against Maryland, but the initial recruiting pitch to Johnson of wanting him to play next to Jefferson appears to be how the staff will indeed use the one-time Alabama commit.
