Summary
Antonio Johnson is a 24-year-old Jaguars defensive back entering Year 4 in a McVay system. With 55.6% snap share trending upward, Johnson posted 34 solo tackles, 2 sacks, 5 interceptions, and 9 passes defended in 2025. His dynasty score is 2.0, and he’s a #1715 dynasty rank among safeties.
Projection Rationale
Johnson’s increasing snap share and 55.6% defensive snap percentage under Liam Coen’s McVay system ensure a moderate floor in 2026. His 5 interceptions, 9 passes defended, and 2 sacks on 34 solo tackles demonstrate a developing skill set, but he’s still a complementary piece in the Jaguars’ secondary.
Injury Risk
Johnson carried full participation in practice in Week 13 of 2025, with no reported DNPs or missed game time, indicating a low injury risk.
Opportunity Notes
Johnson’s 55.6% defensive snap percentage, trending upward, provides a stable floor. His 5 interceptions and 9 passes defended in 2025 demonstrate growth in his role, but he’s not a clear-cut starter in the Jaguars’ secondary.
Scheme Fit Analysis
The McVay system under Liam Coen emphasizes motion and play-action, which could benefit Johnson’s development as a versatile defensive back. His 55.6% defensive snap percentage suggests a moderate role in the scheme.
Trend Assessment
Rising
Johnson’s snap share increased throughout 2025, culminating in a 99.0% mark in Week 10 and 96.0% in Week 12, indicating a growing role in the Jaguars’ secondary.
Ceiling / Floor
Ceiling clears 2025’s 5-interception finish if Johnson expands his defensive snap percentage above 55.6% and increases his production to 7-8 interceptions. Floor tracks near 2025’s 34 solo tackles, 2 sacks, and 9 passes defended, given his moderate snap share and stable scheme fit.
Comparable Player
His role as a versatile defensive back with 55.6% snap share and 5 interceptions in 2025 draws comparisons to Desmond Trufant from 2018-2019 Seattle — similar rising usage, similar defensive backfield production.
