| 9/08/25 | How Arizona Cardinals Star Rookie Delivered in Debut. If not for the unexpected fall of Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders to the fifth round, one of the biggest talking points of April's NFL draft might have been star Michigan cornerback Will Johnson going from a consensus first rounder to being selected by the Arizona Cardinals with the 47th overall pick. Medical reports that only fully came to light in the week leading up to the draft seem to be the best explanation for this unexpected fall, but the Cardinals team doctor gave Johnson the full thumbs up and the rookie himself has been adamant that he feels great and is ready to continue playing at a high level. After building buzz all through training camp, Johnson finally made his professional debut on Sunday in New Orleans and through this one game sample size he looks like he fits the bill as a true CB1. There is a general expectation that opposing quarterbacks will do their best to target rookie/young cornerbacks and make them pay for their lack of experience.

| 8/01/25 | Cardinals Want To Keep Garrett Williams On The Field. The Cardinals have spent their past two second-round picks on cornerbacks Max Melton and Will Johnson, and it makes sense that the team wants and needs them to play to such pedigree and become a major part of the defense. The Cards also will play nickel a lot, allowing a third cornerback, opening up opportunity, and as coach Jonathan Gannon said Thursday, "we play a lot of packages here so guys kick in and out" as the right players -- including corners -- are used in particular spots. Williams is a standout nickel defensive back. Source: https://www.azcardinals.com/news/cardinals-want-to... |
