| 0:00.0 | This is Nebraska running back Emmett Johnson. |
| 0:13.2 | He might be small, but he just handled 297 touches this last year, 15 touchdowns, |
| 0:19.3 | 1,800 scrimmage yards. He kind of runs high, |
| 0:22.6 | but he forces some mistackles. I'm still trying to get a good feel if he's an actually good |
| 0:27.3 | athlete or not. One of these guys, the more you watch and the more questions you have. 510202, |
| 0:32.9 | 456, 159, 10 yards split. And then we look at the agility is a 51st percentile shuttle, |
| 0:38.7 | 13th percentile three cone, but thank you for doing it, sir. And average jumps on top of it. |
| 0:44.2 | There's a really interesting profile here in that underlying metrics are actually sensational |
| 0:50.2 | in comparison to maybe what the eye test shows and does that look sensational. |
| 0:55.1 | Like I give you a few examples here, okay? |
| 0:57.6 | He forced a high rate of mistackles, including finishing second and mistackle force rate on rushing |
| 1:03.1 | attempts at 27.5% in this class. |
| 1:06.0 | Only 8% of his runs failed to produce yardage, the lowest rate in this class. |
| 1:10.6 | And when he was hit at or behind the line of scrimmage, he gained yardage on a class high, 75 percent of those runs. That's according to our buddy, Retrieve-bar. So I guess my question is, Hayden, did you see those numbers on tape? Like, do you think he runs like one of the best on contact players in this draft class? I did not see that. I would say that he's not a violent runner at all. |
| 1:30.4 | And he's not like a laterally agile player to me either. |
| 1:34.0 | I think his best trait, it's a weird one. |
| 1:36.7 | It's like this deceleration. |
| 1:38.5 | Like he can start and stop his momentum really, really well. |
| 1:42.2 | And you kind of drop his weight and change react, |
| 1:45.2 | change direction. You're not seeing somebody moving laterally and like jukeing guys out. It's more |
| 1:49.6 | like start, stop, guy flies by you and then he finds another lane. And then when he has more |
| 1:54.6 | space, he's more of a glider to me and kind of runs upright again. It's a fascinating thing. |
