The new Lions defensive back will be interesting to watch in 2023.
Our readers are familiar with the free agency comments from analysts and players talking about Brad Holmes’ secondary turnaround this offseason. Cameron Sutton and Emmanuel Moseley are both good players, but CJ Gardner Johnson has put this free agent class ahead. Not only is he a great player on the field, but he also seems to be happy off the field.
After the team’s media introduced Gardner Johnson with a highlight reel we noticed Thursday, they proclaimed themselves “Best nickel corner in the NFL(It actually is Kind of a big deal) was a special guest for this week On the Twentyman in the Huddle podcast.

Now, to understand his answer to the question “If you weren’t a soccer player, what would you be”, just check out the dedicated guy strings (eg, This is amazing in an interview after a game against Tampa Bay); knows work!
you can see It’s all in all its glory on the team’s YouTube channel. I especially loved how most of his favorite TV shows growing up were cartoons and that he loves video games a lot. Take a look and check out one of our newest cars for the Detroit Lions. Now, on to the rest of the weekend notes:
