The Arizona Cardinals held their annual Red & White Practice on Saturday at State Farm Stadium. The second day in a row practicing in pads, they got in work in front of thousands of fans. There were a lot of plays made, but one play in particular will be remembered, and it gives Cardinals fans a reason to be excited about their rookie class.
Cornerback Will Johnson, their second-round pick, made the play of the afternoon. He intercepted a pass from Kyler Murray intended for Zay Jones. Johnson jumped in front of Jones and took the ball away.

Will Johnson picks off pass
Johnson will play a big role on defense this season. He is one of the Cardinals’ top three cornerbacks right now after Sean Murphy-Bunting and Star Thomas both had season-ending knee injuries. He, Max Melton and Garrett Williams will be the starters and play a lot.
Johnson, selected 47th overall in the 2025 draft after falling tot to the second round. He was considered as high as a top-10 talent in the draft.
Hopefully, that play is just a preview of many like it to come in the regular season.
