Clifford Johnson brings reliable Southern Miss depth at DB
Johnson profiles as a steady defensive back with proven tackling production and enough ball skills to stay on the field for Southern Miss; ESPN listed him with 13 total tackles in 2012, including five solo stops, while Southern Miss notes he added 10 tackles and five pass breakups in a prior season, suggesting a physical, assignment-sound defender who can support the run and disrupt throws. His fit is best for a team that values consistency, toughness, and special-teams-ready versatility over flash.
