As Jermaine Johnson II sat patiently in the green room on the Las Vegas Strip during the first round of the 2022 NFL Draft Thursday night, the former Florida State defensive lineman wasn’t worried he hadn’t heard his name called. His faith was strong and he knew that eventually, he would wind up in the right spot.
His patience paid off when the New York Jets selected the 6-foot-4, 254-pound Johnson with the No. 26 pick.
“I’m strong in my faith and I knew that I would be where I was supposed to be,” said Johnson.
