I love #6. He's great, and I wouldn't trade him for anybody. But he struggles with drops more than some guys, and that probably works against him.
I might question how they came up with their field if Johnson's numbers fall right in the middle of it. Looking at overall receiving stats for the FBS he ranks:
14th in Yards
15th in Yards per Game
25th in Receptions per Game
9th in Touchdowns
TJ is having a heck of a year but looking at those ranks I can see why he would not have made the top 11. I don't know enough about the 11 guys they picked to comment on whether they belong in that group or not. 4 of them are from the Big 12 where they are not allowed to play defense so that isn't too shocking.
Assuming he continues to grow in the position I would not be shocked to see him up their with the finalists next year for this award.
Where does the Purdue guy on that list rank? Bet Johnson ranks better.

If TJ continue his growth next season and works on lowering ball drops, I don't see how he will be left off the list.
More importantly, if he fixes the drop balls NFL teams are going to be on him like flies on a dead horse.
For some reason, I have a feeling he'd be on the list if MN was a "helmet school" or if we were 7-3.
