2. (43) Tyrell Johnson, S
The Vikings might have taken Tyrell Johnson a tad early but he has a large upside. Johnson is a tad short at 5’11″, 200 pounds but he runs a 4.5 40 which isn’t bad. Johnson played in 46 games (45 starts) at Arkansas State and he made 363 tackles, broke up 28 passes, had 13 interceptions, forced 4 fumbles and recovered 2 fumbles. Despite playing at a small school, Johnson also saved his best for games against big teams like Texas. Johnson will likely play free safety this season but he’s more effective at strong safety because he’s a good run defender. Johnson will also contribute on special teams right away for the Vikings.
