Chiefs Select Another Saftey in 7th

Johnson is a player there isn't a ton of information on right now but is someone to watch for a special teams role

Nazeeh Johnson is headed to the @NFL! 🤘🏈 #WeAreMarshall x #NFLDraft x @Chiefs

The Chiefs needed depth across the back of the defense and they certainly got it with five picks going to the secondary. Johnson fills out a young back end of the defense and gives them another guy to push their UDFA’s from last year for special teams time.

Nazeeh Johnson finishes off what has been a really solid draft for Brett Veach and the #Chiefs

RAS Score

Kent Lee Platte @MathBomb

Nazeeh Johnson was drafted with pick 259 of round 7 in the 2022 draft class. He scored a 9.09 RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 80 out of 868 FS from 1987 to 2022. ras.football/ras-informatio… #RAS #Chiefs

This is another athletic pick for the Chiefs secondary. Johnson could add speed to the special teams unit in 2022.

The Chiefs

Matt McMullen @KCChiefs_Matt

The Chiefs wrap up the 2022 Draft by taking Marshall defensive back Nazeeh Johnson, who tallied 302 tackles, 26 passes defensed and seven interceptions across 45 starts over the last five years. He ran a 4.35 40-yard dash at his pro day.

Other Analysts

Nazeeh Johnson is my S60. Speedster who can run all over the field. Small and doesn’t have the frame to hold up well, but he could be a special teams player or ball hawk deep cover player. Some upside there. #Chiefs #HallamAnalysis

Financial Terms

Let’s take a look at the contract that Johnson signed as a rookie. The numbers may change a little bit with negotiations but this should be a good place to start.

Johnson is a guy who may or may not make the roster. At a cap hit of less than $750,000 for the first year, he could provide special teams play without much cost. When he steps on the field he will only cost the Chiefs just over $3.75 million for the next four seasons.
