Zion Johnson Enters First Round in PFF Mock Draft
With the Super Bowl just around the corner, the NFL is set to enter offseason mode in the next week. Mock Drafts are a major source of content during the offseason, and PFF has released their latest version. In it, Boston College offensive lineman Zion Johnson was put into the first round, at Pick 16 by the Philadelphia Eagles.
16. PHILADELPHIA EAGLES: G ZION JOHNSON, BOSTON COLLEGE
Johnson turned many heads during his Senior Bowl workouts. The Davidson transfer was dominant as a guard, and worked hard as a center and tackle, moving up and down the line throughout the week. The 6-2 offensive lineman was named the 2022 Reese’s Senior Bowl Practice Player of the Week. This award was given out to one player on each team for their work during the various practices during the week.
BC Bulletin's Mitch Wolfe was at the workouts and was left impressed:
"Johnson was one of the first players on the field for every day of practice, every single day. He was working snaps and just doing reps before everyone at practice. Then, he was also always one of the last to leave. He was getting extra snaps with the QBs and at one point he was like working technique with another player."
Boston College's last first round draft pick was Chris Lindstrom a guard like Johnson. The Massachusetts native was taken with the 14th pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. Last season, Lindstrom allowed zero sacks.
