Packers Targeting CB Chris Johnson

Packers Fans Prayers Answered: Chris Johnson Eyed for Cornerback Reinforcements
Packers fans long-standing call for cornerback help seems to be heard, as the team is reportedly zeroing in on San Diego States Chris Johnson ahead of the draft. With no first-round pick due to the Micah Parsons trade, the Packers first chance to draft Johnson comes at pick fifty-two.
ESPNs Matt Miller indicates that Johnson has gained favor in the Packers scouting room, particularly after his impressive performance at the Senior Bowl. General manager Brian Gutekunst has maintained faith in the current corners, but now theyre looking to bolster their defense with reinforcements in the second tier of this draft class.
Fans are excited about Johnsons potential as a CB-one, with many mock drafts featuring him in a Green Bay uniform. His impressive athleticism, which earned him an elite nine point eight four relative athletic score at the combine, has caught the attention of Gutekunst.
If Johnsons stock drops and he falls to the Packers range, this could be the game-changing move Packers Nation has been hoping for. Keep a close eye on draft night.
