Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon expressed excitement over selecting cornerback Will Johnson with the 47th overall pick, deeming it a potential draft steal. Gannon noted that he was surprised Johnson was still available, as he had been highly graded and considered the best cornerback in the draft, with eight other defensive coordinators also expressing their admiration for him. Although some concerns regarding Johnson’s knee might have contributed to his draft slide, Gannon stated that the Cardinals felt confident about his medical status.
