During his press conference at the NFL Scouting Combine Thursday, Feb. 19, Louisiana State OG Herman Johnson measured in at 6-foot-7 and 364 pounds. Johnson said he has spoken with the Houston Texans, the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Miami Dolphins, the New York Jets and the Buffalo Bills. Johnson, who weighed 385 pounds at the end of the college season, said his target weight is about 350 or 355 pounds.

I don't know if there is anything to this. I would like to meet the largest baby born in Louisiana (15 lbs.) and a person that big. Man he could open some holes for LSU.

At first glance he seems a little to big to fit into the ZBS. Most interior lineman in the ZBS are smaller, more agile linemen that can get downfield and make blocks. I am impressed with the fact that he lost 20 lbs. That shows me he is dedicated and willing to make sacrafices to make it in the nfl. I doubt the Texans would talk to him if they werent a little interested. He would be a solid middle round selection.

Anybody have any ideas on where he is going in most mock drafts?

I have seen him anywhere from the 2nd to the 4th round. I think he should grade out at a 3rd or 4th rounder when all is said and done. Interior linemen usually aren't held in high regard so some good one's can fall a bit.

Generally in the 2nd round.

From what I understand he's big but kind of stiff. Doesn't have a whole lot of athleticism and uses his superior size to engulf his attackers rather than jumping up and getting to the second level in a hurry.

He's a pretty good prospect for a power running team but I don't know if that's what the Texans are interested in.

i gota say that PHILLIP LOADHOLT 6'8" 340 OKLAHOMA OL would be better, i just dont think he will go after the 2nd round:D

sounds like my type of guy to have as an offensive lineman. We should also be looking into retired sumo wrestlers as well.

sometimes you are just interested in a player because some other teams are.

If he is any good, then I could see Jacksonville taking him in the second round before we could get him. Although I don't see offensive line as that large of a priority unless we have multiple picks in the second or third round.
