Although the Arizona Cardinals added Jordan Hicks in free agency, they could stand to add more inside linebacker depth behind Hicks and 2017 first round pick Haason Reddick. University of Texas linebacker Gary Johnson could fill that said need as a developmental prospect with high upside.
After starting his college career Dodge City Community College and racking up 215 tackles in two seasons, Johnson earned nation-wide recognition as one of the most coveted JUCO prospects available. He received offers from 28 schools including Alabama, Auburn, Ohio State, LSU, and Texas, and ultimately chose the latter to play as a starter for two seasons.
