Patrick Johnson
6-1, 190, Cornerback, Pompano Beach (Ely)
Possesses the size, speed and instincts of an elite shut-down cornerback, but also has the versatility to play safety. Accounted for a touchdown by five different methods – interception return, punt return, rushing, passing and receiving. Had six interceptions and 48 tackles. Seven interceptions as a junior. Runs 4.37 in the 40-yard dash. "We played him whenever – and wherever – we could," said Ely coach James Jones, the former Florida RB and NFL player. "When we had him at quarterback, he was like Tim Tebow, running, throwing, making things happen. But he's dominant on defense. And he plays with such intelligence and discipline. He's everything you dream about."
COLLEGE CHOICES: LSU.
