Former Duke CB Leonard Johnson visiting Giants, per report

The New York Giants are hosting a young cornerback on Monday whose hopes of hearing his name called in the 2022 NFL Draft were dashed by a torn ACL suffered while training.

Former Duke cornerback Leonard Johnson is visiting with the Giants as a potential developmental signing, according to Aaron Wilson.

Johnson a 6-foot, 191-pound cornerback who played 42 games for Duke from 2018-2021. He was considered a mid- to late-round prospect before suffering his injury last spring. Johnson had 165 tackles and six interceptions for the Blue Devils.

Here is a scouting report from Pro Football Network:

Positives: Nice-sized, physical cornerback who mixes it up with opponents and fires upfield to defend the run.
