Andy Reid: Rookie RB Emmett Johnson has "a little bit" of LeSean McCoy to his game

The Chiefs focused on defense early in this year's draft, but they may have uncovered an offensive contributor in the later rounds. Fifth-round running back Emmett Johnson caught the eye of head coach Andy Reid at the team's rookie minicamp over the weekend. Reid said he thinks Johnson can be an immediate contributor on special teams and that he's showing signs that he may be able to add to the offense in a way that reminds viewers of a player who starred for Reid with the Eagles.

"He's got a good feel for things ," Reid said. "A smart kid, a good kid. He's got that lateral quickness.

We had LeSean McCoy here for a bit and he has a little bit of that to him, where he can shift gears and still get himself up the field quickly. I like the way he pass protects, I like the way he catches the football, and it looks like he can do that here. We're not doing live stuff, but the catching part he does easy.
