Alex Johnson is a Cornell wrinkle with a quarterback’s background and receiver size
Alex Johnson’s Cornell profile points to a 6-foot-3 receiver who originally came in as a quarterback, a rare dual-skill background that can help with timing, spatial awareness, and trust on the outside. In the 2010 season, he caught 5 passes for 45 yards, including a 20-yard career long, and played in nine games on both special teams and at wide receiver; that’s the kind of utility player coaches tend to like because he can help in multiple roles. If you want a tall, versatile depth piece with upside rather than a finished star, he’s worth a look.
