Following Michigan’s FBS Championship stunning 34-13 win over the University of Washington, had the 2024 NFL Draft taken place a week later, and had All-Amercian and FBS Championship Game Defensive MVP Will Johnson been eligible, he would have been the #1 ranked CB in the draft, and most likely a sure-fire Top 10 pick.
The first CB taken in the 2024 NFL Draft was Quinyon Mitchell of Toledo who was selected at pick #22 by the Philadelphia Eagles. Mitchell turned in a fantastic rookie season, helping the Eagles win Super Bowl LIX. However, it would have very difficult to imagine that any NFL team would have ranked Mitchell higher than Will Johnson, given how brilliantly Johnson played under the brightest of lights at Michigan.
