Johnson started only 10 games in 2025 before a Week 11 Lisfranc injury ended his season, making availability the only real caveat attached to the league's top tackle profile. His level of play remained consistent with his Hall of Fame-caliber standard. He is still football's best pass-protecting tackle, regardless of side, thanks to a rare blend of athletic ability, play-strength, balance, recovery skill and technical mastery. Johnson can win early with timing, quickness and positioning, then survive late with core strength, independent hands and redirect ability. He remains a complete run-blocker as well, with the power to displace on the front side, the range to cut off pursuit on the back side and the movement skill to lead in space. Johnson's career arc continues to reinforce that some elite players do not simply age gracefully; they age by narrowing the ways they can be beaten.
