PLAYSTYLE & SCHEME FIT
Will Johnson presents a dynamic blend of size, speed, and physicality that profiles him as a future No. 1 NFL cornerback. With elite-level coverage instincts, Johnson excels in both man and zone schemes, showing impressive route recognition and anticipation skills. His long frame (6’2”) and fluidity enable him to contest larger receivers effectively, while his quick-twitch athleticism supports top-level man coverage against speedier opponents. In run defense, Johnson is a willing and physical tackler, making him valuable in schemes demanding versatility and physicality. Projected as a shutdown corner capable of elevating an NFL secondary, Johnson’s skill set should allow for immediate impact and the potential for Pro Bowl-level contributions.
