NFL Draft 2013 Seahawks Sleepers: DE Rufus Johnson, Tarleton State - Field Gulls
DE Rufus Johnson, Tarleton State - 6'6, 266

Johnson is a big 6'5 1/2", 266 pound defensive end out of Tarleton State (no idea) that ran a 4.75 40 at his pro day with a 1.62 second split. He has/had a private workout with the Hawks, so suffice to say he's on my radar as a possible UDFA or late-round draft pick. Johnson was the 2012 Lone Star Conference defensive lineman of the year after he racked up 10.0 sacks and an impressive 17.5 tackles for a loss.

Impressively, he also finished the 9-game season with 50 tackles, which tells me that he plays the run well too - something the Seahawks will certainly find attractive.

He's got a nice strong punch off the snap that he uses to get offensive tackles off balance, and he does a nice job of keeping his eyes in the backfield so he doesn't run himself out of plays or get out of position.

Yup! We took Colston over bigger names also.

10 sacks last year. Thats pretty good.

Practice squad developmental guy with great measurables.

Hard to hate for a 6th rounder.

well thats on the offense side of the ball. on the defensive side of the ball the our personnel have a very crappie record in trying to get cute.

another defensive pick to tick me off

hagan714 · 04-27-2013, 03:32 PM

good luck to drew i would have preferred the pick to protect him

Good picks at 5 and 6. Can't wait to see the UDFA list. Good draft overall. Our defense just got a hellofalotbetter!

He does seem to keep his motor running all the time. I like that. He'll put on ten-fifteen pounds before he hits the field. Could be okay.

Really hoping for some more OL boys come FA time.

Seer1 · 04-27-2013, 03:38 PM

Alrighty then. I don't see us trading for anything in the seventh round so I'd better get to work here. Have a great weekend all. It's been a blast.

Damn, a real shrimp poboy'd be really good just about now...
