  Draft Scout by Conference









  The son of Super Bowl-winning quarterback Brad Johnson, he was taught from an early age to focus on daily individual improvement instead of competing with his teammates for spots. "I don't look at it the same way people do," Johnson's father said. "I look at it as you're always in competition with yourself. There's only one quarterback that gets to play, and you've got to be ready for when your moments come." Johnson has always prepared for that moment. He received an early and detailed education on football from his father, who showed him how to complete three-, five- and seven-step drops in elementary school. They began film sessions in eighth grade, and the instruction grew from there until Johnson arrived at LSU.

Everything Johnson learned from his father, combined with his naturally composed persona, helped him win both of his starts last season. As Johnson played, coach Ed Orgeron recognized some of the same qualities he saw in former LSU quarterback Joe Burrow, whose father was a coach. They carried themselves with poise. They looked serious. They displayed an internal drive to win. They were mobile. Neither of them said much at first. "He's tall, he's smart and can see a lot of things," Orgeron said. "There are some things he has to improve on, but he's a young player and that's more or less things (offensive coordinator Jake Peetz) can work on with him. But I do believe he can be a championship quarterback." - Baton Rouge Advocate
