Explosive, high-motor linebacker with special-teams value
Kyron Johnson is a proven, energetic defender with clear value as a pressure player and special-teams piece: at Kansas in 2021 he posted 42 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss and 3 sacks, and in 2021 he was described by local analysis as a high-effort, ‘try-hard’ type with 6.5 sacks, 8.5 tackles for loss and 4 forced fumbles. He was drafted by the Eagles in 2022 and later logged six Steelers games in 2023, mostly on special teams, which suggests a role player whose best fit is a team needing burst, effort and coverage-unit depth rather than a full-time featured back.
