Antonio Johnson could quickly become valuable piece of Jaguars’ defense. _RyanFowler_ on why Johnson was a shrewd pick by Jacksonville. NFLDraft | DUUUVAL
While cornerback looked like a position of need as Jaguars general manager Trent Baalke approached draft weekend, grabbing athletes at any capacity in the secondary ultimately proved to be the blueprint. While Rashawn Jenkins and Andre Cisco still look to be the starters come Week 1, the onus of grabbing a modern-day multi-level defender like Johnson who not just fills a multitude of hats but fills them well is a must in today’s game.
Whether Johnson aligns as a big nickel or box safety remains to be seen, but within a division that added both C.J. Stroud and Anthony Richardson to become franchise cornerstones that won’t be afraid to sling the rock around the yard, players like Johnson jigsaw extremely well to counter any type of offense Jacksonville lines up against.
