Defensive back had been projected as first-rounder
Darren Urban
With their second pick in the 2025 draft, the Cardinals bolstered their secondary, taking Michigan cornerback Will Johnson at No. 47 overall.
Johnson battled injuries while in Ann Arbor -- causing him to drop from a projected first-round spot -- but in 2023 he was the defensive MVP in the national championship game and has shown a knack for finding the ball, with nine interceptions in his three seasons.
"It motivates you more than anything," Johnson said.
He was not thrilled he fell, saying he knows he is healthy, and admitted he was both frustrated and angry.
"I'm on a mission," Johnson said. "It woke me up for sure."
