a durable, instinctive playmaker who brings punch to the back end
Johnson was a high-motor, versatile Oregon defensive back who made his mark in the 2024 season with 67 tackles, 3 interceptions, and a reputation for being a reliable run defender and coverage chess piece. Oregon’s roster notes highlight his 786 defensive snaps, strong tackling grade, and Big Ten interceptions, while draft scouting praised his awareness, instincts, ball skills, and ability to play both man and zone. He’s best for a team that values toughness, versatility, and a safety who can find the ball—not just chase it.
