Cardinals' Paris Johnson: Gets first-team reps at tackle
The Cardinals' first-team offensive line at Tuesday's practice included Johnson at right tackle, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Arizona traded up and selected Johnson with the sixth overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft and obviously has big expectations for him going forward. It was unclear whether the Cardinals would ease him into the swing of things or throw him into the fire right away by inserting him at right tackle opposite D.J. Humphries. Early indications at training camp suggest they are opting for the latter option.

Cardinals' Paris Johnson: Secured by Arizona in trade up
The Cardinals selected Johnson in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft, sixth overall.
The Cardinals began the night with the third overall pick before trading the selection to Houston, only to move back up to the sixth pick to nab Johnson. Arizona traded its 12th, 34th and 168th selections to Detroit for picks six and 81. At 6-foot-6, 313 pounds Johnson is a bit light yet for his frame, but at his height and with his rare wingspan (36 and 1/8-inch arms) the Ohio State product has room to add the bulk without sacrificing any athleticism. Once he's a finished product, Johnson should be a viable starting left tackle, pairing incredible reach with uncommon athleticism to give him exceptional range as a blocker.
