  • TEN Linebacker #59
    Eagles selected Kansas LB Kyron Johnson with the No. 181 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft.
    Johnson in his senior year at Kansas led the defense with 8.5 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks on the season, forcing four fumbles, the third most in the Big 12. His 6.5 sacks ranked seventh in the league. Johnson led the Jayhawks with 10 quarterback hurries during the 2021 season, not committing a single penalty on 655 snaps. Johnson will likely be a depth option for the Eagles who could earn playing time down the line.

    Former Kansas LB Kyron Johnson is looking every bit like a combine snub after the numbers he posted on pro day.
    Several players have been identified as snubs from the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine, something that is becoming even more prevalent with pro day numbers across the country emerging. Johnson (6'3"/231) is one of those, as Senior Bowl Executive Director Jim Nagy pointed out on Twitter on Wednesday.

  • TEN Linebacker #59
    Kansas senior LB Kyron Johnson said on Monday that he plans to return for the 2021 season.
    With the NCAA freezing all eligibility clocks this academic year due to COVID-19, seniors such as Johnson (6'1/223) will have the opportunity to return to school for another year if they so choose. The outside linebacker made his intentions known Monday, meaning that Kansas will have one of its more experienced contributors in the fold next season. Through seven games in 2020, Johnson has accounted for 31 total tackles (4.5 for loss) and one forced fumble.

  • TEN Linebacker #59
    Kansas HC David Beaty raved about freshman LB Kyron Johnson’s speed this spring.
    Johnson, a three-star recruit in the last cycle, is an undersized linebacker with cornerback speed (reported 4.41 forty). The 6-foot-1, 190-pounder “is an athletic player with good range and ... versatility ... [who could] impact early on special teams due to his play traits,” ESPN noted in a scouting report. ESPN’s Jake Trotter added: “The combination of that speed and Johnson’s ability to deliver big hits could earn him immediate time on the field.”
