“I really like Ned McHenry…I think he is the character of the draft, no question,” Johnson told SEN Breakfast.
“He is one that once drafted, he is going to be the Jack Higgins of next year.
“He is one to look out for. Apart from the talent side of things, he is just a good lad.
“He is really honest, so hopefully we get to hear a fair bit from Ned.”
McHenry was the number one tackler at the under-18 championships this past season, while also recording a high kicking efficiency. He is expected to be selected in the early 20s.
Johnson also named Jackson Hately as a sleeper in the draft, saying he really likes his body and size.
