Paris Johnson Jr. News
Arizona Cardinals offensive tackle Paris Johnson Jr., the sixth overall pick in this year's NFL draft, saw a significant number of repetitions this offseason at both left and right tackle with incumbent left tackle D.J. Humphries (back) rehabbing and right tackle Kelvin Beachum missing voluntary practices. Johnson has impressed coaches and teammates with his skills, size and intelligence. "I like him a lot, man. He's a student. He got a lot of student to him," Humphries said. The 21-year-old is a bit on the light side for an offensive tackle, but he makes up for it with his height (6-foot-6) and long wingspan. Johnson should eventually become a solid left tackle for the Cardinals.
The Arizona Cardinals signed first-round offensive tackle Paris Johnson Jr. to his four-year rookie deal on Thursday. The contract includes a fifth-year option. In addition to Johnson, Arizona agreed to rookie deals with wide receiver Michael Wilson (third round), offensive lineman Jon Gaines II (fourth round), quarterback Clayton Tune (fifth round) and linebacker Owen Pappoe (fifth round). Johnson was the sixth overall pick in this year's draft and was a first-team All-American and first-team All-Big Ten selection in 2022 after making 13 starts at left tackle. The 21-year-old should be a solid starting left tackle for the Cardinals in time, thanks to his freakish athleticism and great range.
Arizona Cardinals offensive lineman Paris Johnson Jr. was regarded by many as the best offensive lineman in this year's NFL draft, so it shouldn't be much of a surprise that he's expected to start in Week 1 of the 2023 season, if he's healthy. Johnson played both guard and tackle at Ohio State, and that flexibility will serve him well at the next level. The Cardinals need to re-establish an offensive line that really never gelled in 2022 because of injuries. No matter where he's playing in his rookie season, Johnson will play a significant role in his first NFL campaign.
