Size, speed of Texans rookie corner Lonnie Johnson jumps out

Shadowing wide receivers in a red-zone drill, imposing Texans rookie cornerback Lonnie Johnson Jr. used his size and length to full advantage.

Big, strong and fast at 6-2, 213 pounds, Johnson fits the prototype for the position.

Adapting to the NFL on the fly, the second-round draft pick from Kentucky has run the 40-yard dash in 4.39 seconds. He has also bench pressed 225 pounds 15 times and posted a 38-inch vertical leap.
