About John Johnson

John Johnson (#43) patrols the secondary as Free Safety for the Los Angeles Rams, bringing exceptional field vision and tackling precision to the defensive backfield. Born December 19, 1995, in West Hayettsville, Maryland, Johnson developed his football acumen at Boston College before making the leap to the NFL. At 6'0" and 209 pounds, Johnson combines ideal size with the athleticism necessary to excel in coverage while remaining a formidable presence against the run. His versatility allows him to line up in multiple defensive packages, making him a valuable chess piece in the Rams' defensive scheme. Johnson's communication skills and football IQ elevate the entire secondary, as he efficiently coordinates coverage adjustments pre-snap. His balanced approach to the safety position—equally comfortable delivering bone-jarring hits or making plays on the ball—makes him one of the more complete defensive backs in the league.
