Report: Will Johnson to Miss Michigan Pro Day With Hamstring Injury Ahead of NFL Draft

Michigan cornerback Will Johnson will miss the Wolverines' Pro Day on March 21 because of a hamstring injury, but he's scheduled to be cleared in time to hold a private workout for teams on April 14, per ESPN's Jordan Reid.

Johnson is ranked fifth overall and second among cornerbacks (behind Colorado's Travis Hunter) on the latest B/R NFL Scouting Department big board.

The latest B/R NFL Scouting Department mock draft has Johnson going seventh overall to the New York Jets.

"Will Johnson projects as one of the top cornerbacks in this year's draft, with the potential to be an impact player early in his NFL career," B/R NFL Scout Cory Giddings wrote.

"His combination of size, length, physicality and versatility in coverage make him a valuable asset for any defensive scheme. While he will need to refine his change of direction and reduce his tendency to gamble in coverage, Johnson's ability to disrupt plays both in the air and on the ground gives him a high ceiling. With proper coaching and development, Johnson can potentially become a top-tier defensive back in the NFL."

The 6'2", 194-pound prospect is the top man-coverage cornerback in this year's draft, per the B/R Scouting Department.

Johnson is respected industry-wide, with the latest consensus big board from the NFL Mock Draft Database listed him ninth overall.

Ultimately, it's difficult seeing this injury having any impact whatsoever on his draft stock, especially given that he's set to hold a private workout for teams 11 days before the NFL draft begins on April 25.

Plus, his collegiate performance speaks for itself.

For now, Johnson will rehab his injury with sights set on a strong private workout on April 14.
