Jaylon Johnson trying to show that he is a top cornerback in this league
Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times had a chance to interview Bears CB Jaylon Johnson and he reported a lot of very interesting stuff!
«I'm already one of the top corners,» he told the Sun-Times. «I just haven't had the stats to back that up in terms of interceptions. But if we're talking about strictly limiting guys, covering guys, I don't think there's too many guys in this league that can cover better than me.
«It's more so about the media, especially going into my third year and having an opportunity to restructure a contract. I feel like that plays a part in that respect. But I know, for a fact, across the league that my name is respected. People know what I can do.»

Johnson mentioned that he felt like he was overlooked at times.
«If I get four or five interceptions, I'll probably be All-Pro and Pro Bowl easy,» he said. «But those are stat games, and at times, a name game. If I had a bigger name on a bigger team and we were winning, I don't think I would be overlooked.»
The part about being on an irrelevant team is a valid point, however, that's not going to change unless Johnson helps make it happen!
