Jaylon Johnson's quiet confidence proved true

Jaylon Johnson, a cornerback for the Chicago Bears, was an honorable mention in a recent poll of league executives, coaches, and scouts ranking the top ten cornerbacks. He missed ten games in 2025 due to a lower leg injury, which impacted his performance with 17 tackles, two pass deflections, and one interception in seven games. Despite his injury-shortened 2025 season, Johnson is expected to be a key player for the Bears' defense in 2026, especially with other secondary injuries.
