Paris Johnson Jr.'s Stock On The Rise
2 years agoOhio State left tackle Paris Johnson Jr.'s stock is on the rise ahead of the first round of this year's NFL draft on Thursday night. "He's the only Day 1 left tackle and maybe the only true left tackle of the first-round guys," according to an NFC area scout. Johnson started at right guard before moving to left tackle in 2022, and he allowed just two sacks all year. He's seen by teams as the most pro-ready tackle, and he also has considerable upside given his inexperience at the position. Northwestern's Peter Skoronski is believed to be an offensive guard at the next level. Johnson is considered the cleanest tackle and could be off the board early in the first round. If the Arizona Cardinals are able to trade out of the No. 3 spot and move down, they could target Johnson.
