Tae Johnson's Player Profile

Johnson is a long, athletic safety with excellent range and enough versatility to play deep, in the slot or closer to the line of scrimmage. His receiver background is apparent in his ball skills, and his combination of recovery speed and coverage ability gives defensive coordinators considerable flexibility. Johnson's pursuit angles, tackling consistency and tendency to occasionally get caught watching the backfield remain areas requiring improvement. Overall, he is one of the more intriguing defensive backs in the 2027 class and possesses first-round potential as a versatile three-down safety if his instincts and run defense become more consistent.
