2018 NFL Draft: Buffalo Bills cornerback Taron Johnson scouting report

With their fourth selection in the 2018 NFL Draft, the Buffalo Bills selected Taron Johnson, a cornerback from Weber State. Where does he come from, and how does his skill set fit with the Bills? Here’s the breakdown on Buffalo’s new corner.

Background

Johnson grew up outside of Sacramento, California. His mother died of breast cancer when he was nine years old, and his dad and older sister helped raise him into adulthood. He played receiver in high school, and as he looked toward college, Johnson only had one scholarship offer - for FCS Weber State in Utah.
