J.J. Johnson brings tackling production and starting DB experience to Marshall
Johnson is a proven, high-volume defender who started at cornerback for Marshall and posted 56 tackles in his junior season, including 26 solo stops and three nine-tackle games, showing he can handle real workload and stay active around the ball. His value is less about splashy picks and more about reliable coverage effort, physical tackling, and game-to-game consistency, which makes him attractive for a team needing a steady, assignment-sound defensive back rather than a pure ballhawk. He fits best as a dependable depth piece or starter who raises the floor of the secondary.
