3. He played last season with a torn labrum
Johnson had high aspirations of being drafted in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, but instead he slipped to the second round. One of the primary concerns surrounding him is due to his injury struggles, including his most recent surgery.
Suffering a torn right labrum in 2018, Johnson opted to play through the injury and became one of the best corners in the country. According to Josh Newman of the Salt Lake Tribune, Johnson wanted to participate in the NFL Combine before undergoing surgery, making his numbers even more impressive. Pace felt comfortable with his medicals to make him the Bears’ selection in the second round.
Ryan Pace said the Bears are "very comfortable" with the medical records of Jaylon Johnson, who is coming off shoulder surgery in March.
