Tops 100 tackles Johnson recorded 105 tackles (73 solo), an interception and eight pass breakups over 16 games during the 2020 regular season.
Impact After being limited to just six appearances in 2019, Johnson played the full slate in 2020 and turned in excellent production out of the secondary. Johnson is often overshadowed by superstars Aaron Donald and Jalen Ramsey, but the free safety is another key cog for the Los Angeles defense.

Ties for second on team in tackles Johnson logged seven tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 23-20 loss to the Jets.
Impact Johnson has been enjoying an excellent year in coverage with only 4.7 yards allowed per target and zero touchdowns surrendered over 55 opponent pass attempts. Week 15 was undoubtedly a lowlight for the Rams defense, however, as the No. 3 scoring unit allowed New York to reach 23 points for the fifth time this season while conceding a season-high 71 percent completion rate to Sam Darnold. Johnson and the Rams secondary must recalibrate quickly, facing a Week 16 road assignment against Russell Wilson and the Seahawks.
