The Arizona Cardinals chose Will Johnson, a cornerback from Michigan, with the 47th overall pick in the second round of the NFL draft. Despite being projected as a first-round pick, Johnson's stock fell due to injury concerns including a knee issue that impacted his 2024 season where he played only six games. He also missed key pre-draft evaluations, including the NFL combine and Michigan's pro day. The Cardinals are optimistic about Johnson's potential to compete for a starting cornerback position immediately, given his ranking as the No. 10 overall prospect.
Johnson, once a projected first-round pick, was selected by the Cardinals with the 47th pick despite concerns over his knee injury and limited recent performance.
The Cardinals are hopeful Johnson's talent can translate to an immediate starting role, given his prior top-ten ranking among prospects and his experience.
