Notes: C.J. Gardner-Johnson ranked surprisingly high in free agent list

While many of his peers aren’t so high on C.J. Gardner-Johnson, one NFL analyst is still all-in on the Detroit Lions safety, despite a bumpy season.

Just a few weeks out from free agency, NFL writers are dropping their lists of top players on the market. The Lions only have a few, and when it comes to CJGJ, most analysts don’t have him very high on their lists. Despite coming into 2023 with high expectations, Gardner-Johnson’s season was derailed when he tore his pec in the Lions’ Week 2 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
