It's only June, but the competition for the strong safety position has already developed between free agent signee Jeron Johnson and Duke Ihenacho.

Duke Ihenacho says, “It’s all love. It’s always been all love.”

But there is truth in their bond, just like there is truth in knowing one of them will eventually sit higher on the depth chart than the other.
