Ideal system
Fangio two-high
Free SafetyBox SafetyNickelback
Best role
Rotational safety with potential to develop into a starting free safety, leveraging his instincts and ball-hawking ability.
Wrong fit
Man-heavy press coverage schemes where his lack of top-end speed and change of direction would be exposed.
Johnson's versatility and intelligence make him a valuable piece in a defensive backfield that prioritizes coverage and smart play.
