Jaylon Johnson - CB - Utah - SI Big Board No. 40

The Redskins still need help at corner despite the acquisitions of Kendall Fuller and Ronald Darby. Could Jaylon Johnson from Utah fit the mold in Washington with Ron Rivera?

Jaylon Johnson is a versatile corner from the Utah Utes. Did you say ute? What the hell is a ute? 

Allow me a second here to relive a funnier time in life. One of my favorite lines from one of my favorite flicks. 

We move on! Jaylon Johnson might be the perfect type of corner that can fit in Ron Rivera and Jack Del Rio's system. 

Facts and Stats:

1. Johnson is 5'11 - 195 (5116) and can play inside and outside. He played at least 15% of snaps in the slot over the last two years. 

2. He's versatile in positioning and coverage, playing 56% in man coverage in 2018 and 43% in man in 2019 while maintaining his coverage integrity, per The SIS Football Rookie Handbook .

3. Johnson had 28 pass breakups and only 3 touchdowns allowed in his three year career at Utah 

How does he fit the Redskins? (Scheme, Position need):

He does because of his versatility as mentioned above. Johnson can also help on special teams and is a willing tackler while playing the run and in the short passing game. 

Video Analysis:

Johnson wears uniform No. 7 and No. 1 in this video. I don't love some of the references in the music but it was the best cut-up that I could find. Please mute the audio if you are sensitive to certain terms. 

I like the way Johnson jumps routes and seems to time everything up well. He certainly appears to be a physical back despite being less than two bills. 

SI.com/EDS Football's Kevin Hanson's spin:

"A fluid athlete at 6’ and 193 pounds, Johnson has started 29 games over three seasons and has seven career interceptions and 28 passes defended."
