PFF Recognizes Jaylon Johnson and DJ Moore for Outstanding Performance
Jaylon Johnson emphasized the significance of earning All-Pro recognition over Pro Bowl selection, and he is awaiting confirmation of his achievement in this regard. However, both Jaylon Johnson and teammate DJ Moore were recently honored with All-Pro status by Pro Football Focus (PFF).
Jaylon Johnson was distinguished as a first-team PFF All-Pro cornerback, sharing this honor with Dallas' Daron Bland and Sauce Gardner of the Jets, who also made the first team at cornerback. Meanwhile, the second-team cornerback positions were awarded to Seattle's Devon Witherspoon, Washington's Kendall Fuller, and Kansas City's Trent McDuffie.
Jaylon Johnson concluded the regular season as PFF's top-rated cornerback, boasting an impressive overall grade of 90.8 and leading in coverage with an exceptional grade of 91.0. PFF has positioned him as the eighth-best free agent available this year and anticipates that the Chicago Bears will apply a franchise tag to him. The projected franchise tag cost for cornerbacks in the current year is estimated to be $18.4 million, while those designated as transition free agents would receive approximately $15.9 million.
On the other hand, DJ Moore secured a place on the PFF All-Pro second team among wide receivers, alongside fellow NFC receivers. The first-team All-Pro receivers included Miami's Tyreek Hill, Dallas' CeeDee Lamb, and San Francisco's Brandon Aiyuk. DJ Moore, along with Philadelphia's A.J. Brown and Detroit's Amon-Ra St. Brown, were the notable second-team recipients.
In his debut season with the Bears following a trade that granted the Panthers the first pick in the 2023 draft, DJ Moore achieved career highs in receptions (96), yards (1,364), and touchdown receptions (8).
