5th Round Draft Choice: Herman Johnson - OT - LSU - 6′7″ 365 lbs.
Did you say Big? No, I’m not talking about Big, as in Leonard Davis, but this man is BIG. First thing is we need to come up with is a nickname for Herman Johnson, it is only befitting we do so. He makes Big Leonard look like someone who needs to add some bulk. Maybe Herman “House” Johnson? Come to find out, he already has had that nickname since high school. Finally the cycle is broken, the buck stops here and the Cardinals take an offensive player again after round 1.
It all starts in the trenches, wars and won and lost in the trenches. It’s no different in the NFL. It all starts with the Offensive and Defensive lines. The offensive line needs improvement especially on run blocking, I’m talking about blowing people off the ball and eating up real estate. We need better running lanes for our running backs, no doubt. So, that’s why Herman Johnson was taken in the 5th round to help in that area.
