The Arizona Cardinals have a left tackle they believe in with Paris Johnson. Entering his third season in the league and his second as the team’s starting left tackle, he is approaching Pro Bowl level, even if that will be difficult to do with some of the other tackles in the conference.
But he is beginning to get some recognition.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler revealed who the top 10 tackles are in the league based on the votes of coaches, scouts and executives. Johnson did not make the top 10 and did not receive honorable mention, but he was one of the players who also received votes, so at least one coach or evaluator believes he is a top-10 tackle in the league.
The top three tackles are no surprise — Tampa Bay’s Tristan Wirfs, Detroit’s Penei Sewell and Philadelphia’s Lane Johnson.
San Francisco’s Trent Williams also makes the cut as well.
Johnson played well in 2024 but did see a decline later in the year and he missed the final three games. But he is healthy and ready to go. We will see if he can elevate his play and garner some more respect around the NFL.
