NFL.com draft analyst Lance Zierlein released his second mock draft following the conclusion of the NFL Combine on Monday, and Zierlein has the Steelers selecting CB Will Johnson. Johnson has been projected to go within the top 20 picks for much of the draft cycle, but in this mock, Zierlein has Johnson falling to Pittsburgh.
“The slide ends for Johnson. If he runs a strong 40-yard dash at Michigan’s pro day, that will boost his stock. For now, he ends up taking his impressive ball talent to Pittsburgh.”
In 32 games at Michigan, Johnson had nine interceptions, which included three that he returned for touchdowns.
