Ronald Johnson is ready for his senior season and that process begins with the spring ball sessions which start on Tuesday. His goals are set high and he knows what he wants to accomplish, now it is time to go out and achieve all that is possible in his final year at USC.
"I want to be a perfect player. I want to establish myself as an all-around receiver, a guy who can do it all."
With that statement, Johnson basically makes it clear that the sky is the limit in terms of what he believes he can attain this season. RoJo, as he is known far and wide on the USC campus, is a man with a plan.
"I want to put myself in the right positions to make sure I become all that I can be and I'm willing to put in the work that the other receivers won't do. You need to have the mindset to get better, to improve your athleticism. You're not going to get where you want to go without working as hard as I do."
There is a certain focus that is obvious these days when you watch RoJo putting in that work. At winter conditioning and throwing sessions, RoJo can be seen going through a wide variety of stretching and agility exercises before he even steps on to the field. After the workout is complete, RoJo is the one heading to the corner of the field for more work on the jugs machine to help develop his hands. It's not a routine for the lazy man, it also won't be taken by too many underclassmen. Instead, it is a path that is taken by a man who realizes what is at stake for his future and, after an injury suffered last year, a man who now knows how quickly it can all be taken away.
