Raiders' Draft Target: Emmett Johnson

Raiders' Draft Target: Emmett Johnson

Author: The Daily News Now! April 2, 2026 Duration: 1:30

The Las Vegas Raiders are eyeing Nebraska running back Emmett Johnson for the 2026 NFL draft. Johnson had a standout season with 1,450 rushing yards, 5.8 yards per carry, and 12 touchdowns. Hes a versatile runner with excellent vision and agility, forcing 68 missed tackles. Johnson also excels as a receiver, catching 46 passes for 370 yards. While his pass protection needs improvement, his skills align perfectly with the Raiders zone-heavy scheme. If he slips to day three, he could be a great complement to Ashton Jeanty, creating a dynamic backfield.
