Jaylon Johnson
The Bears’ No. 2 selection of the second round in the 2020 NFL Draft, Jaylon Johnson is a popular pick to be the team’s rookie of the year. Johnson was a standout performer at Utah, helping anchor one of the best defenses in the country. His jaw-dropping stat of allowing just three touchdowns in over 1,200 snaps was one of the best nuggets to come out of the draft. He’s an athletic corner who has an edge to him and is already looking forward to covering the other elite receivers in the division.
The question is, can he secure a starting spot when Week 1 rolls around? Johnson has plenty of upside and should play a significant roll on the defense throughout the season. But with limited offseason activities, he could be behind the eight ball considering he’ll have his share of competition. While it’s still unclear whether or not he’ll line up opposite of Fuller right away, Johnson has a bright future and could be the next star of a vaunted defense.
