NFL Draft 2018: CB Danny Johnson hoping to break Southern's 14-year drought

Danny Johnson finished his career at Southern with 17 interceptions.

But it's one interception in particular that had piqued the interest from NFL teams he is receiving.

"All of them bring it up," Johnson said. "That's the play they say they watched that got their attention. So I just want to continue to make plays that will stick with them."

The play to which Johnson is referring is a leaping one-handed interception against Alcorn State in September. The 5-foot-9 cornerback demonstrated the ability on that play that has him hopeful that he'll become the first Southern Jaguar to be picked in the NFL Draft since 2004.
