    Kaleb Johnson’s NFL Draft Scouting Report

    Good things can come from Kirk Ferentz’s old-school Iowa Hawkeyes. Kaleb Johnson is one of those good things. Johnson rumbled for 1,537 yards and 21 touchdowns on 240 carries in 2024, and he breaks into our Top 5 in a stacked 2025 NFL Draft RB class.

    At 6’1″, 224 pounds, Johnson isn’t the most explosive or the fastest back, but he compensates with some of the best vision and creative instincts the class has to offer.

    A fast first- and second-level processor, and an efficient footwork technician, Johnson knows how to use his setup space to bait defenders and clear lanes. He also has the bend and constant leg churn to create chunk plays once he’s working vertically.

    Kaleb Johnson’s Latest NFL Draft Projection

    PFSN’s Ian Cummings projected Johnson to be drafted 83rd in his most recent 7-round 2025 NFL Mock Draft.

    Cummings said, “Kaleb Johnson’s slide finally ends in Pittsburgh. His zone-running specialization fits well with Arthur Smith, and Johnson has the size and physicality to be a true volume back.”
