Tony Johnson brings ball-hawking upside to the Lions secondary
In the 2026 season, Tony Johnson has already shown the kind of playmaking that matters in a defensive back: ESPN lists him with 2 interceptions and no forced fumbles, which hints at a coverage player with real anticipation and range[1]. At Southeastern Louisiana, that kind of takeaway ability is the difference between a steady DB and a game-swinger, and it’s exactly why he should interest a team looking for a defensive back who can read routes, stay composed, and punish mistakes[1].
