Wed May 07 11:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Cardinals Snag Cornerback Will Johnson in Second Round, Despite Medical Concerns
**GLENDALE, AZ** – The Arizona Cardinals may have landed a major steal in the second round of the NFL Draft. Cornerback Will Johnson, a projected first-round pick from the University of Michigan, fell to the 47th overall selection due to reported concerns about a knee injury. However, Johnson himself insists the issue is a non-factor.
Johnson, visibly frustrated after being passed over in the first round, took to social media to express his determination. In a video posted online, he stated, “Finna go kill, bruh. They going to have to pay for this shit. I promise you. Arizona finna get a dawg.”
The cornerback reportedly hasn’t experienced knee problems in two years, attributing past injuries to a shoulder injury (one missed game in 2024) and turf toe (six missed games in 2024). His unexpected slide down the draft board appears to be solely attributed to pre-draft medical evaluations.
If Johnson’s knee proves to be healthy, the Cardinals’ second-round selection could prove to be one of the most impactful moves of the draft. His fiery post-draft reaction indicates a player ready to prove doubters wrong and make an immediate impact in Arizona.
