Predictions for Duke Johnson Jr. (2014)

[The Real Kirk Lazarus]

As long as he stays healthy.. i think **** do as good as he was on pace to do last year with more touchdowns..
so i'll say about 1700-1900 yds and 16-20 tds rushing and about 300 yds receiving and 4 tds

 

[theibisrules]

1,395

15 TD's (rushing)

367 Rec. Yards

3 TD's (receiving)

 

[Crystal Ball]

If he stays healthy, no reason he doesnt go for 1200+ yards and 10+ TDs

 

[Canesfan1899]

Hopefully Ice has taught him the proper way to pick-up a blitz and he should be able to stay on the field.

and the proper way to recover a fumble....playing sand castles on the beach is not how you recover fumbles

Key there is to not fumble the ball.

true, but you know these things happen in football. No way to skirt it, it happens to all the good backs at sometime or another.

 

[TriniMike]

1,700 plus barring injury.

 

[CaneSupremo]

64000 yards and 79, no, 80 touchdowns...

FWIW I just put $50 on Duke for Heisman at +4300. Might not win, but seems like a good bet.

I agree with a previous poster. The key to Duke's season is for Kaaya to be able to take advantage of the defense favoring the run. (Coley to have enough faith to allow Kaaya to take the shots when they are there) If Kaaya plays in a bubble, defenses will stack the box and Dukes production will go way down.

 

[LexZapata]

1900 total yards minimum about 1400 rushing yards, figure the excess how you please.

 

[kev13108]

1300 yds rushing with 12 tds on the ground.
400 yards receiving with 3 reviving tds

I think most people's estimates on his receiving yards are too low. Unless Kayaa dominates, teams will load the box. But the coaches are still going to want to get the ball to Duke in space. Been reading a lot about passes to backs out of the backfield this summer... Not saying he's gonna be the leading receiver, just a nice safety valve for a young QB who can get a ton of YAC.

 

[INCaneFan]

I'm not even going to put a prediction out there, just want him to stay healthy.

 

[FrancisSawyer]

He'll have a year similar to Willis's monster year in 2002.

This. Duke puts up 1600 yds rushing
500 yds receiving
20 TD's Duke takes the Heisman
He enters the draft and Chip Kelly and the Eagles ignore need and take Duke in the first round. Can you imagine Duke in Chip Kelly's offense?
