Cardinals Tackle Voted Among Top OT’s
ARIZONA — The Arizona Cardinals are hoping for big things from tackle Paris Johnson Jr. heading into his second season – and they’re not the only ones who believe in the Ohio State product.
ESPN recently revealed their positional rankings (made/voted on by NFL execs, coaches and scouts) at offensive tackle, and while Johnson didn’t crack the top ten – or the honorable mentions – he did receive a vote to be among the league’s best.

Johnson himself says this coming season will be a big step in the right direction.
