2022 NFL Draft recruiting rewind: Boston College's Zion Johnson to Los Angeles Chargers

Originally a Davidson commitment, Zion Johnson still found his way to the first round of the NFL Draft

Coming out of Riverdale Baptist High School (Maryland) in the class of 2017, Zion Johnson didn't have many options.

He committed to Davidson originally, then transferred to Boston College after two seasons and was a three-time All-ACC performer along the offensive line.

Johnson was selected No. 17 overall by the Los Angeles Chargers, where he will be tasked with protecting young superstar quarterback Justin Herbert. 

Here's how Johnson was rated as a high school prospect in the class of 2017:
