Michigan cornerback Will Johnson’s slide in the NFL draft stopped with the Arizona Cardinals in the second round Friday.

Arizona took Johnson, once a projected first-round pick, with the 47th overall selection despite a knee injury that apparently concerned teams enough to not pick him in Thursday’s opening round.

Johnson played in just six games in 2024 because of a turf toe injury. He didn’t participate in drills at the NFL scouting combine, and a hamstring injury prevented him from taking part in Michigan’s pro day.

Johnson held a private workout for teams 11 days ago but did not run the 40-yard dash.

Johnson, who finished as the No. 10 overall prospect on ESPN’s consensus predraft board, could come in and compete for one of the Cardinals’ starting corner jobs immediately.
