He graded out well as a run defender by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.pff.com\/\" data-t-l=\":b|z|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">PFF&#8217;s metrics<\/a>, held pass catchers to under 10 yards per reception this season, and came away with five interceptions and three pass breakups.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Throughout the season, Johnson lined up as a box defender, free safety, and in the slot. That versatility that Johnson possesses is an important element within Campanile&#8217;s defense, as it enhances that disguise component. Where quarterbacks see Johnson pre-snap, that may not be where he is post-snap.<\/p>\n<p>Expert NFL picks: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":body nav (nfl)|e|auto spike click:5|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_sp_a\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/picks\">Exclusive betting insights only at USA TODAY.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">His ability to fill a variety of roles adds a lot of flexibility to Campanile&#8217;s call sheet.<\/p>\n<p>No. 49: DE Josh Hines-Allen<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Hines-Allen was one of the most disruptive pass rushers in football last season.
