        Nebraska RB Emmett Johnson turned in an underwhelming Combine showing. The 5'10, 202-pounder clocked a 4.56-second 40 time, registering a 41st percentile Speed Score. He also posted subpar marks with:

        • A 35.5-inch vertical
        • 10-foot broad jump
        • 4.29-second short shuttle
        • 7.32-second three-cone

        Johnson finished with a 6.16 Relative Athletic Score, which lands in the 61st percentile among all RBs at the Combine since 1987 and dead last among the nine RBs that tested at this year's Combine.

        It wasn't a disastrous outing, especially for a RB who didn't appear to win with sheer athleticism on tape. But it's worth a slight downgrade to Johnson's fantasy outlook. An undersized back with mediocre athleticism likely has a limited ceiling.

        We'll see what the Combine performance ultimately does to Johnson's NFL Draft stock.
