4/21/25 | 49ers Should Avoid Drafting CB Will Johnson. The NFL draft is just around the corner. Soon, we will all be witnessing the San Francisco 49ers making their 11th pick. It's unclear what direction they will take. They can either go with a defensive tackle, edge rusher, offensive tackle, or even a cornerback.

"Michigan CB Will Johnson has a knee issue that's been flagged," Breer wrote. "It shouldn't affect him in the short Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/49ers/news/49ers-should-avo... |
4/19/25 | Look: Multiple Cincinnati Bengals First Round Targets to Attend 2025 NFL Draft. CINCINNATI — Sixteen players will attend the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay. The Bengals have the No. 17 overall pick, so there's a good chance that their selection is in attendance when they make the pick. Alabama's Jihaad Campbell is who we most recently mocked to the Bengals in the first round. He'll be in attendance. So will Georgia safety Malaki Starks, former Ohio State star Josh Simmons, Alabama star Tyler Booker and Michigan cornerback Will Johnson. Of course there are plenty of other Bengals first round targets that won't be in Green Bay for the draft, but those four guys could certainly be in the mix at No. 17 overall.

4/14/25 | A Draft Prospect Workout to Monitor. Cornerback Will Johnson was scheduled to work out Monday for the first time this offseason, and one would imagine the Miami Dolphins were among the teams that would be paying close attention. The highly touted prospect from the University of Michigan didn't work out at the combine or the school's pro day because he was dealing with a hamstring injury, and reports indicated he would do position drills but not run a 40-yard dash. Johnson generally is regarded as one of the top two cornerback prospects in the 2025 NFL draft after Colorado's Travis Hunter, who is a generational prospect as a wide receiver/cornerback. The other cornerback-only prospect who projects for the first half of the first half April 24 is Jahdae Barron of Texas. Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/dolphins/news/a-draft-prosp... |
