Johnson

The 26-year-old returns for a fourth season in Kansas City on a one-year deal worth $3.2 million. In 2024, Johnson appeared in 16 games during the regular season and made two starts in the playoffs. He posted a career-high 53 tackles, along with one sack and three passes defensed. However, he was the lowest-graded defensive back for the Chiefs last season, according to PFF. He’ll be useful depth as things stand in 2025.

Johnson tackled Brock Bowers on a first-down gain but it cost Johnson a trip to the medical tent. Bowers plowed through a second would-be tackler before planting his shoulder in Johnson’s chest, as the trio fell to the turf. Johnson exited the blue tent and was taken to the locker room for further concussion screening.

Johnson in his final year at Marshall was fourth on the team with 59 tackles, led the team with two interceptions, and added two pass breakups, two fumble recoveries, and one forced fumble. He profiles as a special teamer in Kansas City.
