Aggies Defensive Player Heads East in Latest NFL Mock Draft
The college football Senior Bowl and Shrine Bowl are all but memories as the calendar flips through February, and it's time to once again start looking at the best players and where they might end up at the next level.
With April's NFL Draft order set except for the final two spots which will be determined by the outcome of Sunday's Super Bowl, teams are finalizing their draft boards and zeroing in on the players they want most.
In this latest mock draft by ESPN, the Aggies have no players represented in the first round. But in the second round, the New York Jets add a defensive standout to their rookie class.
43. New York Jets
Antonio Johnson, S, Texas A&M
A do-it-all safety with impressive height-weight-speed numbers at 6-3, 195 pounds, Johnson can play free safety or nickel cornerback. And some NFL scouts say they even believe his length is suited to play outside corner. The Jets' need for a playmaking free safety makes Johnson a great fit.
In this mock draft, Johnson is the only player from A&M taken in the first two rounds. But with a roster full of talent, we can expect other players to be taken by teams looking to score big in the 2023 NFL Draft.
