Explosive Ole Miss Edge Rusher With NFL-Level Burst
Cedric Johnson was a disruptive, high-motor edge defender for Ole Miss in 2023, finishing with 40 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, 5.5 sacks, and a team-high 12 quarterback hurries, showing the kind of burst and backfield pressure that can change a game. He stands out for his first-step quickness, power, and competitiveness, and he also earned the Chucky Mullins Courage Award, a sign of leadership and perseverance. The fit question: he projects best as a rotational pass rusher who can create pressure immediately, while teams that need polished run defense and refined hand technique may want to be patient.
