When the Bills brought Sean McDermott to be the Head Coach he had a few former Panthers join him in Buffalo. Mike Tolbert was one, and slot corner Leonard Johnson was another.
Johnson had a poor showing in his first season in Buffalo. He struggled while lining up across from the dangerously crisp route-running slot receivers of the NFL. He often failed to keep his man close to him and allowed the most catches-against among all nickel corners.
The first-year Bill was in the slot for 423 snaps and allowed a league-high 59 catches on 82 targets and had a QB rating of 99.
