  Draft Scout by Conference









  Growing up in South Florida, UCF wideout Brandon Johnson gravitated toward superstar NFL receivers like Calvin Johnson or Andre Johnson for inspiration on the football field. Another player he idolized was closer to home: Chad 'Ochocinco' Johnson, who happens to be his cousin. "He's a great receiver to look up to," Johnson said of his six-time Pro Bowler family member. Johnson is in his first season with the Knights, arriving as a graduate transfer from Tennessee in December. The former 3-star Fort Lauderdale prospect spent five seasons with the Volunteers, bringing some much-needed experience to the UCF receivers group. "I came here for the storied wide receiver tradition," said Johnson, who has 969 career yards. "Some great wide receivers have come from here before I came here, so I just want to come and try to live up to that legacy."

UCF has seen a dozen players selected in the NFL draft including Gabe Davis (2019), Tre'Quan Smith (2018), Breshad Perriman (2015), Mike Sims-Walker (2007) and Brandon Marshall (2006). The program has also produced a 1,000-yard receiver in three of the past four seasons including Marlon Williams (1,039 yards) last season. But the departures of Williams, Tre Nixon and Jacob Harris have left the receivers group lacking practical experience. - Orlando Sentinel
