Chicago Bears: CB Jaylon Johnson

(Ron Chenoy-USA TODAY Sports)

When you watch tape with players, you gain insight into their processes in ways you just can’t with a standard interview. I had the opportunity to review plays this offseason with Utah cornerback Jaylon Johnson, and the one thing about Johnson that made itself apparent above all else is that he just doesn’t do much of anything wrong. His consistency, coming as it does from comprehensive film study, allowed him to rack up seven interceptions to just three touchdowns allowed in a three-year collegiate career in which he was targeted 190 times, and never allowed an opponent passer rating higher than 57.6. The Bears somehow picked Johnson up with the 50th overall pick in the second round, and Johnson could be a starter from Day 1.
