Johnson notched team highs with 93 tackles (76 solo) and four interceptions for the Cardinals during the 2014 season. In addition to the aforementioned career-best marks, Johnson also tallied two of Arizona's three defensive touchdowns (both via pick), while recording three tackles for loss, one sack, and one fumble recovery. According to Football Outsiders, he easily led Cardinals' defensive backs by logging 99.2 percent of the defensive snaps, which is impressive in a corps composed of Pro Bowlers Patrick Peterson and Antonio Cromartie. Moreover, Johnson successfully fended off 2014 first-round pick Deone Bucannon for the entirety of the season, meaning the six-year pro enters the offseason as the unquestioned starter at strong safety.
