YoloinOhio Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 He has a chance to stick for sure ... UB fans what are your thoughts? @jayskurski [bN] Blitz: Jordan Johnson has called the 716 home his whole life. He hopes that continues with a spot on the #Bills http://buffalonews.com/2017/05/14/sweet-home-ub-product-jordan-johnson-hoping-stay-local-bills/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hopes that continues with a spot on the #Bills http://buffalonews.com/2017/05/14/sweet-home-ub-product-jordan-johnson-hoping-stay-local-bills/ The kid is a contender. He was a bright spot on an otherwise dreary UB offense. (along with TE Mason Schreck who the Bengals drafted.) Downhill runner with a burst of speed when he gets in the open. He could be the new Gillislee. Edited May 15, 2017 by PromoTheRobot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downhill runner with a burst of speed when he gets in the open. He could be the new Gillislee. Kinda reminds me of gillislee. Top speed seems half a gear slower, it definitely has some potential. Seems to do a nice job of setting up his blocks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to do a nice job of setting up his blocks reminded me a little of Fred. Great vision, not the fastest, bigger but not huge. Edit. This video he definitely looks like gillislee Edited May 15, 2017 by Not at the table Karlos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Looks pretty good. I hope he gets a real chance to prove himself. That video montage had me confused. What's with the Buffalo Bulls color scheme? First they are wearing all white, then all black, then white with blue, then blue with white, then white with black. UGH! Call me "old school", but pick your traditional colors and stay with it. Not everyone should follow the example started by Oregon. Oregon shouldn't follow the example they started.

fansince88 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Seems to have good ball security. Covers it well just before impact. Needs to get bigger if he is going to take on NFL linemen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue and white (ala Kentucky) are their official colors but they do the Oregon thing now with different uni/helmet combos almost every game.

John from Riverside Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 One of the things about the RB position...if you can find guys that can play in udfa you really do your cap situation a favor. We have Jon Williams, got Tolbert on the cheap, and have this guy Just need to find a bruiser to Shady's slash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like their official colors, they should wear those all the time. The all black look is silly. I hate when teams wear all black, especially when it is not a part of their original color scheme.

I was speaking more strength wise. I dont think he has as much muscle for taking the hits he will have to take. EDIT: I really like him and think his ball security is much better than JW Edited May 15, 2017 by fansince88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsfanAZ Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I know he is a 716 guy and I hope he can stick with the team in some way but I dont see where he is going to unseat Williams as a back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be between JJ and Cedric. PS at worst. Edited May 15, 2017 by YoloinOhio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 There's always injuries. and suspensions (Jwill) Wonder when we will hear about that. Should be 2 games I would guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saxum Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 The kid is a contender. He was a bright spot on an otherwise dreary UB offense. (along with TE Mason Schreck who the Bengals drafted.) Downhill runner with a burst of speed when he gets in the open. He could be the new Gillislee. He is good at following his blocks but do not think he has enough speed to go around end like he does a lot in highlights in the NFL. Not see if he has enough power to break tackles. The Tight End I saw appeared to be very good at blocking at end of line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 I watched JJ a lot. I always wanted UB to feature him MORE than they did, especially as a Soph and Junior. He seems dangerous every time he got the ball. The comparisons above are good. I'd also compare him to a lighter Karlos Williams. He gets downhill, fast and he's still a pretty big guy. He's faster than you think he is. If the Bills give him a legit shot to make the team, I think he could do it. That means he would have to be given more than 5 total carries with the 4th string in preseason. Obviously he would have to show something on special teams as well and might even need another RB to go down with an injury (to get a decent number of carries). Hopefully it works out for him. The Bills never really gave Branden Oliver a chance and he blew up in San Diego. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 @TCBills_Astro Jordan Johnson, #Bills RB from UB, had 5.2 ypc getting 1040 yds on 200 carries. With UB's line this year, that's EXTRA impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
