    Who or what is a Buddy Johnson? And is he better as a prospect than the kid from Michigan?

    Another athletic ILB which isn't a bad idea incase Bush goes down. Spillane is a decent backup but the dropoff in athleticism is steep from Bush.

    As he is right now, he is a 2-down LB and a liability in the passing game. Seems to be a smaller version of Vince Williams!

    I think it is the opposite... good in coverage, but small.

    From what I read he’s got the athleticism to be a good coverage guy but has to improve in space, that is probably coachable

    It’s the 4th round a lot of the picks I’m guessing at this point are talented but not NFL ready yet

    True... it is just when one says it out loud, it sounds really bad.

    He's small, has bad hands, and we cannot forget: he is blind.

    Buddy Johnson sounds like a blues name. Buddy "Big Muddy" Johnson .

    I thought they'd at least use the pick on an edge rusher, the depth is rough.

    The Browns just took Tony Fields II. In my mind, these two picks will be paired & compared...

    Re: The Steelers select LB Buddy Johnson #140 overall.

    I know very little about Johnson . but someone I trust wrote this ( Curt Popejoy )

    The Pittsburgh Steelers stuck with Texas A&M for their second fourth-round pick in the 2021 NFL draft. After taking offensive tackle Dan Moore, Pittsburgh followed it up with fellow Aggie and inside linebacker Buddy Johnson.

    Johnson is an interesting case because the measurables and timed speed are all very good. He’s been a starter for two years and when you watch him play he seems to always be around the football.
    Johnson is a team leader, called the defense for Texas A&M and is hyper-aggressive. He’s a coach’s type of player. I can see him being a very productive tackler and run defender in the Steelers defense if he can become a bit more patient and learn to shed blockers better
    Kenny Pickett is who I though he was .. Eagles problem now

    Guess we get to find out which one...

    I’m optimistically guessing it’s #1. I don’t think he’s dumb as he called the defense for his team. It’s possible that his coverage issues lie elsewhere, but I doubt it’s lack of intelligence. I think he’ll do well to learn from Bush.

    Lawrence Taylor could not remember a play to save his life. Parcells would yell at him repeatedly for not following his assignments... but, Taylor would simply make up for it with a "tackle for a loss".

    One story goes: LT makes a sack. Parcells yells at him, "That was NOT the play that we called!!!" To which LT responded, "It should have been."

    I mean if he turns into LT, I don't care if doesn't know a single play and develops LT's galaxy sized love for cocaine and hookers.
