Florida State's Roderick Johnson enters NFL draft

Florida State offensive lineman Roderick Johnson has declared for the 2017 NFL Draft.

After dedicating time to prayer and talking with my family, I have decided it is in my best interest to declare for the 2017 NFL Draft.

My faith in Christ has kept me grounded with an open mind to seek and accept sound advice and guidance. Much of which, I received as a student-athlete at Florida State from coach Fisher, coach Trickett and coach Brewster, who I wholeheartedly thank for their coaching and support.

I also want to thank the football support staff and academics staff. You have been my family away from home and I can’t thank you enough for both challenging me and providing the resources I needed to be successful.

The tackle has claimed the Jacobs Blocking Trophy as the ACC's best blocker in each of the past two years. He was also named First Team All-SEC this season.

Johnson also paved the way for running back Dalvin Cook's 1,765-yard and 19 touchdown campaign.

The junior is expected to be taken in the first or second round this spring.
