The Arizona Cardinals have high hopes for their second-round draft pick, cornerback Will Johnson. Selected 47th overall, he brings elite potential to the team’s secondary. Johnson’s path to starting as a rookie may be challenging, given the presence of veterans like Sean Murphy-Bunting and Garrett Williams, along with other promising talents like Star Thomas and Max Melton. Murphy-Bunting, with a significant guaranteed salary, is unlikely to be displaced. However, Johnson could find himself in a rotational role similar to Melton's last year, giving him valuable experience while developing his skills.

As the Cardinals assess their defensive lineup ahead of the 2025 season, Johnson's performance will be crucial. He showcases high-end CB1 potential, and if he can adapt quickly, he might push for a starting spot. The Cardinals are expected to focus on establishing a competitive secondary, which could elevate their defensive game in the upcoming season. Fans and analysts alike will be keen to see how Johnson integrates into the team's plans.
