Athletic cornerback with quality ball skills but missing the functional size for the league. Johnson plays with good mirror-and-match footwork from press and has some talent to make plays on the throw from trail positioning. He’s athletic in space and transitions on route breaks with adequate quickness. He struggled staying with Colorado’s deep threats but the speed he showed at his pro day alleviated concerns about his ability to carry vertical threats. His size and build should force him to play inside, and his limitations in run support could be a major red flag for teams.
Nickel cornerback with good length and solid athletic-testing numbers but a lack of consistency. Norris has the physical talent for man coverage but gets manipulated out of position by route runners and isn’t always confident with his zone duties. He plays the run with good aggression and will attack ball-carriers with some zeal. His coverage has too many holes and might prevent Norris from getting much of a pro look.
