Kirk Barton comments on Johnson:

A mainstay on Ohio State's offensive line from 2004-to-2007, Barton said they termed Johnson's group of linemen as "grown men." ...

Before Johnson arrived at Penn State in 1996, the Nittany Lions hadn't had a defensive lineman taken in the first round of the NFL Draft since 1970 ...

"He stressed an aggressive, up-field approach that forced the offense to react to them, as opposed to reading and reacting to the offense" ...

"I carried that knowledge with me every time I prepared to play Penn State, as I knew how strong their front four would be and how well they would rush the passer. They also have always had the most ferocious field goal block unit in the country. Their guys make every extra point an absolute war on the interior, which is something 99 percent of fans don’t notice" ...

"If you had a stack of very qualified resumes to replace (Vrabel), I cannot imagine many that would outdo Larry Johnson’s," Barton said. "He coaches very hard and his players play with great effort and technique. I think he'll be a great addition to the Ohio State family."
