Pete Carroll certainly has a type when it comes to cornerbacks for his football team: Big and fluid that have the ball production to match.
Michigan’s Will Johnson fits the mold of a prototypical Carroll cornerback. Standing at 6-foot-2 and 194 pounds, this Wolverine picked off two passes this past season for Michigan — both returned to the house for touchdowns — and has nine career picks (and three pick sixes) over the course of his three-year stint.
Carroll’s Las Vegas Raiders certainly can user a takeaway artists like Johnson.
In fact, the only “non-qualifier” in terms of Johnson fitting Carroll’s architype for a cornerback is he has a shorter arm length — 30 1/8 inches.
