Scouting Report
Michigan · 2025 draft class
Johnson is a prototype boundary cornerback with exceptional size, length, and athleticism. His combination of physical traits and technical refinement makes him one of the premier defenders in college football. Johnson displays excellent pattern recognition and route anticipation, often jumping passes before receivers make their breaks. In press coverage, he uses his length and strength effectively to disrupt timing at the line of scrimmage without getting grabby. His fluid hip turn and transition ability are remarkable for a corner of his size.
