Arizona cardinals hope for a season in small groups after missing the NFL qualifiers in the past two years. However, this will require major defense contributions, especially if Kyler Murray is struggling to move the offense.
One of the main contributors who should strengthen the defense is that the corner half of the recruit Will Johnson, considered a major flight in the second round of the NFL draft. Johnson’s trait stock dropped due to persistent injuries that he could not completely shake during his stay in Michigan.
“Michigan CB Will Johnson Jr. has a knee problem that concerns certain NFL teams and helps explain why it has still not been selected,” said Adam Schefter of ESPN.
Although his knee was reported to the combine harvester, the cardinals could not pass the opportunity to seize a high young cornerback.
“The knee was reported during combination tests, the results of the teams that generally arrive from mid-April. In the hours preceding day 2, some teams considering that Johnson always had questions. Arizona agreed with the problems and, consequently, Johnson had the high possibility by entering the second round,” wrote Cardinals Wire.
Johnson has the potential to become a major asset for cardinals. The talent and the rise are clear. However, as Damian Parson notes from Bleacher Report, Johnson must return to his pre-blue form to really have an impact.

“The 22 -year -old should be ready for the training camp for the NFL teams during this period of leave. Parson wrote.
Johnson has not yet played a single cliché in the NFL, but expectations are already high. Cardinals seem to be fully committed to him, but in a league where one or two injuries can derail a career, Johnson’s ability to remain healthy for most of the season will be essential for his success and the success of the team.
