Rookie CB Will Johnson on Cardinals defense: ‘It’s a cornerback’s dream’

Will Johnson might have fallen in the draft, but at least he landed in a scheme he believes will fit him like a glove.

“Super exciting. I mean, that scheme is amazing,” the Arizona Cardinals rookie said Thursday. “It’s a cornerback’s dream. So, I’m excited to play in it. I’m excited to get comfortable with it. And just learn more about it. I’ve learned a good amount so far, so just continue to learn and get comfortable in it, and make a lot of plays.”

With the Cardinals opening rookie minicamp on Friday, Johnson will have his first chance to really dive into the scheme of coach Jonathan Gannon and defensive coordinator Nick Rallis.
