4. Rodney Johnson Jr. - CB
Another name that many fans might have heard this offseason is the cornerback transfer from Southern University, Rodney Johnson Jr. The star cornerback is making a big jump from the Southwestern Athletic Conference to the ACC, but he has been a player who has seen his stock skyrocket this fall.
Ron English has vocalized about Johnson multiple times this camp about how impressed he is, and the cornerback is also simply passing the eye test. His ability to track the ball is one key reason why he will start, as last season he earned 35 total tackles, 5.0 tackles for a loss, one forced fumble, and one interception.
The Cardinals' secondary is one of the most concerning positions for the fans entering the 2025 season, and the 6-foot-2 200 200-pound transfer is emerging as their top cornerback for the 2025 season.
