Rashawn Slater, who made the Pro Bowl as a rookie left tackle in 2021, praised Johnson’s confidence and noted his “calm energy.” He said the two have talked about transitioning into the NFL. “We’re barely even rushing right now in no pads and he’s already put a couple of variations on some moves that I’ve never even seen before,” Slater said.
