The Cards selected the big left tackle out of Columbus with the sixth overall pick in this year’s draft.
Standing 6-foot-6, 313-pounds, Johnson has the versatility to move up and down the line and get out and block in space.
He’ll face a tough test against a swarming Commanders defensive line, who’ll be looking to welcome him to the league with a loss.
