Name: Jamar Johnson Position: Safety College: Indiana Height: 6’0” Weight: 205 lbs (pro day) Overall Rank: No. 72 overall Position Rank: S6 Strengths: A breakout player in 2020, Johnson was all over the field for the Hoosiers as he netted four interceptions in his first year starting. A smooth, versatile cover man with the athleticism to work both in the slot or in a high safety alignment, Johnson fits today’s game. He’s instinctive and flows well to the ball in-flight with enough speed to have NFL-level range over the top and in bracket coverage. His experience at cornerback shows up in man coverage and in how well he times and executes a hip flip. Johnson picked Ohio State’s Justin Fields twice in their matchup this year and made for a very long day for the Buckeyes’ offense. A likely nickel player early on, Johnson has the traits to be a match-up defensive back playing some slot corner and some safety.
