PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT

Kaleb Johnson is a physical, north-south runner with strong vision, fluid movement skills, and excellent balance. He thrives in zone-based rushing schemes that allow him to press the line of scrimmage before making decisive cuts. While he lacks top-end breakaway speed, his combination of size, patience, and finishing power makes him a strong early-down and short-yardage option with RB1 upside in a two-back system.

CEILING GRADE ANALYSIS

High-End Starter Potential (65-69)
A player expected to become a top-tier starter within their first few years. They possess strong physical tools and good technical skills but may have some limitations in their game. With development, they can reach near-elite levels and provide consistent impact at their position.
