2. CB Jaylon Johnson
The Bears got a steal in second-round cornerback Jaylon Johnson, who has the opportunity to be one of the best picks of this draft for Chicago. Johnson had shoulder injuries that kept him out of the first round, especially as some had him pegged as a top-three cornerback prospect. Johnson’s athleticism, confidence and ability to shut down opposing receivers makes him one of the most exciting rookies to watch in camp.
Johnson will be competing for the starting cornerback job opposite Kyle Fuller, although he’ll face some stiff competition from a crowded cornerbacks room with Tre Roberson, Artie Burns and Kevin Toliver. Still, Johnson figures to be the favorite to win the job. Although he’ll have to do that without the benefit of preseason games, which means every training camp rep is valuable.
