Paris Johnson Jr. is Emerging as a High-End Left Tackle
Paris Johnson Jr. has quickly developed into one of the NFL’s more promising young tackles, with strong pass protection, improved penalty control, and above-average run blocking in 2025. His appeal goes beyond the box score: he’s a high-ceiling, physical lineman who has already handled premium edge rushers and shown real year-over-year growth, which matters for teams seeking a reliable blind-side protector with upside. His 2024 knee injury is worth monitoring, but the trend line points up, and the Cardinals’ confidence in him suggests a player who fits best in a scheme valuing size, power, and steady pass pro.
