Fans React to Cardinals Selecting Paris Johnson Jr. in 2023 NFL Draft

The Arizona Cardinals drafted Ohio State OL Paris Johnson Jr. - here's how fans reacted.

The wait is over for the Arizona Cardinals and their first pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. After trading down from the third pick to the No. 12, the Cardinals made another trade to move up to the sixth overall pick and selected Ohio State offensive tackle Paris Johnson Jr.

For those unfamiliar with Johnson, he was a starter for the Buckeyes at guard and both left and right tackle. He is a high-level competitor and a potential day-one starter for the Cardinals.

The selection is also a legacy pick, as Paris Johnson Sr. played for the Cardinals, although he was never a Pro Bowl player. Johnson Sr. was a fifth-round pick by the Cardinals in the 1999 NFL Draft.

The question everyone is asking, however, is how has Twitter reacted to the pick. Let's take a peek at some of the best reactions!

Former top pick Robert Griffin III says the Cardinals absolutely needed to draft Johnson. 

But of all the tweets we got to see, this one takes the cake.
