It’s been a weird week when it comes to defensive backs, the 2025 NFL Draft, and the Detroit Lions.
It started with former Michigan cornerback Will Johnson. Once presumed a top-10 pick before a 2024 season didn’t go as planned, Johnson held a pre-draft workout this week, and some NFL draft experts were not impressed. There are some speed concerns with Johnson, and with a reported 4.33 short shuttle and a refusal to run the 40-yard dash, his workout did not put those concerns to bed. That has led some to speculate that Johnson may slide down the draft further than some expect.
