Miami, one of the top running back factories in college football, has churned out recent studs such as

As evidenced in the spider graph above from MockDraftable.com, Johnson's performance fell short in nearly every category at the combine. A few things of note worth pointing out -- these numbers didn't include Johnson's 3-cone drill (6.88) or his short shuttle time (4.16) -- two important drills when evaluating running backs.

Those times were taken at Miami's pro day and ended up being respectable among this running back class, ranking fifth and 10th, respectively. Johnson also improved his 40-time at his pro day by clocking a 4.47 (an improvement from his Combine 4.54) and benching 225 pounds 18 times.

Suffice to say, Johnson wasn't going to let one poor outing -- albeit under national scrutiny at the combine -- take anything away from his chances of becoming a professional running back.

One thing that separates Johnson from the rest of his peers is his explosiveness. You can tell his special teams return skills have translated to his rushing style as he is always looking for that tiny crease for him to hit the burners and fly through with his 5'9" frame. He has the burst and balance to hit these holes and reach the second level with regularity.

The former number-one running back out of high school has many redeemable attributes you look for in a running back. He is a tough, hard-nosed runner with the patience to let his blocks develop, the burst to jump through holes, make a move, and then run for daylight to paydirt.

Johnson finishes his runs well, taking defenders with him picking up those extra yards in the process. Those extra yards often translated into first downs for the Miami Hurricanes. Duke Johnson had the second highest percentage of his carries go for first downs in the FBS last year -- 29.8% of his carries moved the chains -- trailing only Todd Gurley's absurd 35.0% rate.

Johnson also has some of the best hands in this rookie class among the running backs -- something the Cleveland Browns could use help with. Running backs top offensive lines according to Pro Football Focus, Crowell and West's inefficiencies did not result from line play. The explosive, young Johnson should have an immediate opportunity to come in and compete for the starting role.

In Duke Johnson, the Browns are getting a tough 21-year old running back with the tenacity to pick up first downs regularly. After three straight years of being in the bottom 10 of third down conversion percentage, the Browns could use that sustainability keeping drives moving. Johnson has the NFL translatable skills for him to come in and become an immediate contributor as a third-down or change-of-pace back in a worst case scenario.

Best case scenario?

Duke Johnson could become the franchise running back Cleveland had hoped former first-round pick Trent Richardson would become -- and at a fraction of the draft capital.
