Summary

Johnson has been the Bills primary nickel corner for several years, but often had trouble staying healthy. In 2020, he managed to play in all 17 games and broke out with 72 solo tackles as opposing offenses tended to frequently target him in the passing game. While his cover skills and playmaking may be lacking, he makes up for it with a physical and aggressive playing style. The Bills didn't bring in any strong competition for his role this year, so expect another productive season as long as he can stay healthy.
