JJ Johnson brings immediate safety value with tackling, range, and instincts
Johnson profiles as a disruptive, assignment-sound defensive back who already showed real impact at the college level: at Georgia State in 2024, he recorded 69 tackles, 6 pass breakups, and 1 interception, and NC State listed him as a starting safety with a meaningful role in 2025. His differentiators are his pursuit, toughness, and ability to finish plays rather than just rack up numbers—he looks like a steady, physical fit for teams that want reliable run support and a defender who can communicate and erase mistakes on the back end.
