Crimson Tide Safety In Demand

As we reported last week, Alabama safety Rashad Johnson has visited the Denver Broncos and the Philadelphia Eagles. Johnson has also conducted private workouts with the Atlanta Falcons and the Broncos, according to Scout.com. The projected third-round draft pick had formal interviews at the NFL Scouting Combine with the New Orleans Saints, Chicago Bears, and the Pittsburgh Steelers. As a senior, Johnson led the team with five interceptions. For his career, the 5'11", 203-pound former walk-on running back recorded 216 tackles, 11 interceptions, and four forced fumbles. The All-Southeastern Conference selection posted 89 tackles and 11 pass deflections last season. Johnson ran the 40-yard dash in 4.49 seconds at the combine, also registering a 37-inch vertical leap, a 10'-0" broad jump and bench pressed 225 pounds 15 times.
