2027 NFL Draft Summer Scouting Report: Greg Johnson, G, Minnesota
· Yahoo Sports
Summer is here, sort of, and it is everyone’s favorite time of the year, scouting time. Every year, we do Summer Scouting to preview college football for Vikings fans, but also give them an idea of names to follow and watch in the fall as needs pop up for Minnesota.
Are we going to write about quarterbacks? Offensive tackles? Edge rushers? You know it, but why? Because other NFL teams will draft them, just as they will draft every other position. It all matters whether these players end up on the Vikings, the Bears, or the Steelers. We write these so Vikings fans can be the most informed fans.

So if you are still with us, enjoy our latest Summer Scouting report as we prepare you for the Fall.

Player Summary
Greg Johnson is a fun guard prospect in a group of players that has underwhelmed to an extent this Summer. He strikes me as someone who could be a day one starter in the NFL and be a plus starter in two years' time. He showcases some power, good anchoring ability, and balance you want to see from interior offensive linemen. Minnesota is a very fun team in the college football landscape in 2026, and Johnson is going to be a fun watch and could easily enter early day two talks with an impressive season.
