Ty Johnson, Maryland: Johnson has the skill set to not only contribute in the run game, but in the pass game and as a returner. He has good hands and decent vision, but lacks explosiveness and speed.)

2019 NFL Draft QIB qualifiers: Running Backs (Ty Johnson (Maryland) offers a similar skill set at Hill, but at a lower price tag (likely in the late rounds). Despite being bigger than Hill he is more apt to run away from contact but he also has the vision to execute that approach.)

"Ready to Run" Johnson Goes Off at Pro Day, Talks Draft (3-28-19):   https://247sports.com/college/maryland/Article/Maryland-Ty-Johnson-NFL-Pro-Day-Terps-Football-Draft-Sleepers-40-Time-Running-Backs-130615939/

Pro-Day Report - Maryland (Running back Ty Johnson ran the 40 in 4.41 seconds, a very good time, but tweaked his hamstring and was unable to complete the shuttles or position drills. That doesn’t help Johnson, as while he stood out during practices for the Shrine Game, position drills during pro day are geared towards Sunday football. Additionally, teams on hand often request specific routes or drills during a pro-day workout.) (3-27-19):   http://draftanalyst.com/pro-day-report-maryland

Fast but not furious, Maryland's Ty Johnson is again out to prove himself, this time to NFL scouts (3-27-19):   https://www.baltimoresun.com/sports/terps/bs-sp-ty-johnson-maryland-pro-day-0327-story.html

We already knew that TerpsFootball RB Ty Johnson was one of the fastest players in this year's draft. What really impressed me at xpe sports was his work ethic and preparation. Stays after practice, humble and very coachable. Look forward to his pro day on March 27.) (2-17-19):  https://mobile.twitter.com/RicSerritella/status/1097168632151531521

Six Winners From The East-West Shrine Game Practices (RB Ty Johnson, Maryland: Johnson made amends for his disappointing senior season and looked every bit the next-level running back prospect scouts believe he can be. He displayed great quickness, vision, and speed carrying the ball. Johnson routinely beat defenders into the open field with a tremendous burst through the running lanes. He also displayed exceptional route-running ability and pass-catching hands throughout the three days of practice -- a skill he was rarely asked to use in college. It’s safe to say Johnson moved from the late rounds of the draft into the early part of Day 3.)

Shrine Game Notes: Tuesday Thoughts (Others who have flashed on the East:  Ty Johnson, RB, Maryland) (1-15-19):  https://football.realgm.com/analysis/3128/Shrine-Game-Notes-Tuesday-Thoughts

2019 Shrine Game Week Primer - RealGM Analysis (In my years of covering postseason all-star games, I’ve learned running back is the least valuable position to watch in practices. There is little live tackling and the blocking schemes are basic. There are still things that can be learned, however. Route running, catching the ball and pass protection skills will be on full display.  It’s those latter abilities where a guy like Maryland’s Ty Johnson can shine. He didn’t get a lot of opportunity with the Terrapins, but I saw him make a lightning 98-yard kick return at Michigan and his speed and acceleration were stunning. Nick Brossette from LSU could vault himself up into the 4th-5th round with a good week, too.) (1-14-19):  https://football.realgm.com/analysis/3127/2019-Shrine-Game-Week-Primer

10 prospects for Lions fans to watch during Shrine Game week (Ty Johnson, RB, Maryland:  His 98-yard kickoff return at Michigan showed off his blazing speed and ability to make sharp cuts without decelerating. Johnson didn’t get a lot of opportunities to carry the load or catch passes in the Terrapins offense, but having seen Johnson play in person twice, I see a guy who can be a faster Ameer Abdullah. The RB depth chart behind Kerryon Johnson is wide open for someone like that to come in and seize playing time.)

2019 EAST-WEST SHRINE GAME PREVIEW: RUNNING BACKS (The East team is headlined by Maryland's Ty Johnson. Listed at 5-foot-10, 212 lbs, Johnson has had his fair share of explosive plays over the course of his time with the Terps. Johnson had a breakout season in 2016 as a junior, where he logged 1004 rushing yards on just 110 carries and averaged nearly 10 yards per touch from scrimmage.  A rough senior season has cost Johnson some of his perceived value, but if healthy and able to showcase his special teams value and third down skills, Johnson may be an emerging Day 3 running back worth paying attention to!)
