Will Johnson draft profile, scouting report

Johnson's 2023 tape was outstanding and project as an ideal outside cornerback in the NFL with a mix of athleticism, ball skills and technique. He dropped off in 2024 before a season-ending injury. — Ayrton Ostly

As a freshman, Johnson was a Pro Football Focus All-American and landed on some big boards (at the time) as a would-be top-10 prospect had he left. Johnson's talent speaks for itself, a former five-star recruit with elite ball skills. He set a Michigan record with three pick-sixes in his career. If health was assured, which it's not, he'd be a top 10 lock. As it is, the main question with Johnson is availability and if he can stay on the field, he figures to possibly start Day 1. — Tony Garcia
