Johnson, 25, made national headlines last season after completing a 101-yard pick-six against the Baltimore Ravens in the playoffs.

A 2018 fourth-round draft pick, Johnson recorded 95 tackles and seven passes defended during the 2020 NFL regular season. This season, the Sacramento, Calif., native has 15 combined tackles and five passes defended through three games.
