“From last year, the game naturally slows down, getting that year under your belt,” Johnson said. “For me, just my body is more at ease. My mind is more at ease, being able to see things and being able to have better eyes, a better understanding of what the offense is trying to do and how the defense works as well. It’s just easier mentally, which allows my body to be able to play a little faster.”
