Cardinals Draft Cornerback Will Johnson, Eyes on Future Performance

PHOENIX, Arizona — The Arizona Cardinals made waves in the NFL Draft by selecting cornerback Will Johnson with the 47th overall pick, a move that surprised many fans and analysts alike.

No one anticipated Johnson would still be available after the first round. His drop was attributed to a knee injury that raised red flags among teams. Initially frustrated, Johnson expressed his determination to prove doubters wrong after Arizona’s selection.

In a behind-the-scenes video, Johnson shared his excitement, stating, “Finna go kill, bruh. I promise you. Arizona finna get a dawg.” He has not experienced any knee issues in the last two years and is puzzled by the concerns surrounding his health.

Last season, Johnson missed one game due to a shoulder injury and the final six games because of turf toe. Despite these setbacks, he was recognized as one of the top cornerback prospects heading into the draft.

Analyst Adam Schefter noted that Johnson’s knee issues were concerning for some NFL teams, but the Cardinals felt confident in his abilities and future potential. Johnson had been projected as a first-round talent and was expected to be a vital asset for any team that drafted him.

In response to the 31 teams that passed on him, Johnson gave a bold proclamation: “They gon have to pay for this sh*t, I promise you. Arizona finna get a dawg.” If he can stay healthy, he might live up to that promise and make a significant impact on the Cardinals’ defense.
