The Arizona Cardinals selected Michigan cornerback Will Johnson in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, picking him at No. 47 overall. Johnson is recognized for his game-changing potential, showcasing strong cover skills, size for matchups against larger receivers, and agility for quicker opponents, along with nine interceptions in three seasons at Michigan, three of which were returned for touchdowns. While he may need to improve his tackling consistency and positional awareness, his playmaking ability and coverage upside indicate he has true shutdown cornerback potential, especially after recovering from a foot injury.
