If you'll remember, Johnson was something of a revelation last offseason after the Eagles signed him as undrafted free agent (and paid a premium, unprecedented price to secure his services). Despite a slight, DeSean Jackson-esque frame, he impressed in camps and preseason with his soft hands and electrifying jitterbugness (not a word -- yet) in the open field. Andy Reid even made the DeSean Jackson comparison (a poor man's DeSean is more apt, due to lack of 4.3 speed). People wondered if the little guy…

Bicknell's coaching experience up to that point had been with Boston University and NFL Europe. While at BU, he got to know Kelly, who was then coaching at New Hampshire, and the two kept up a relationship."As soon as I knew I was getting the interview, I said, 'Alright, I've got to talk to Coach Kelly,' " Bicknell explained.

So we asked his quarterbacks coach, Bill Lazor, to name the main qualities they seek in a signal-caller.“Accuracy and decision-making,” said Lazor without hesitation.Later in the conversation, he was asked to assess Matt Barkley.“From the moment he’s walked on the field here he has been accurate, and that’s the No. 1 thing.

He lined up all over the formation last year and caught 68 passes, including 11 for 106 yards and a touchdown against Oregon.

As I've discussed on multiple occasions, the offensive line was a huge question mark given age, injuries, and general uncertainty on the right side. With one move, the Eagles have turned the line into a strength. If Johnson can start on the right side immediately, it moves Todd Herremans back to an easier position at guard and eliminates Danny Watkins from our collective memory.
