02Scheme fit
Ideal system
A defensive system that emphasizes versatile defensive backs who can play multiple roles in both man and zone coverage, often featuring single-high safety looks and blitz-heavy schemes.
Strong SafetyFree SafetySlot CBSpecial Teams Ace
Best role
Initially a core special teams player and rotational safety, with the potential to develop into a starting strong safety in a Cover-1/Cover-3 heavy scheme.
Wrong fit
A system that predominantly relies on two-high safety looks or demands consistent deep zone responsibilities from its safeties.
Johnson's aggressive nature and special teams prowess make him a valuable asset in a defense that prioritizes physicality and versatility on the back end.
