Johnson was the No. 5 overall player on the final big board from Bleacher Report's NFL Scouting Department. Despite missing seven games with a shoulder injury and turf toe, Johnson had 14 tackles, three passes defended and four interceptions last year. In 2023, he had 27 tackles, four passes defended and four interceptions for Michigan.

NFL analysts are saying the Cardinals pick of Will Johnson could be one of the best in this year's draft class.
