Report: Colts Met with Boston College Safety John Johnson at Senior Bowl

According to Walter Football’s Charlie Campbell, the Indianapolis Colts met with Boston College safety John Johnson following the North Team’s practice Wednesday at the Senior Bowl.

As a potential disclaimer, it doesn’t necessarily mean that the Colts are clearly interested in Johnson, as the team could simply be performing their due diligence for scouting purposes–as NFL scouts meet with a lot of prospects prior to draft day.

However, it also cannot be completely discounted either because as Campbell notes, these informal interviews can be used to set up longer, formal interviews throughout the week–which an NFL scouting department simply doesn’t perform with every prospect.
