Antonio Johnson: Everything you need to know

Johnson made 58 tackles (37 solo), including 2.0 sacks, across 17 regular-season appearances in 2025. He also recorded a career-high nine passes defensed (including five interceptions) and one pick-six. Johnson's pick-six came Week 18 against the Titans, a contest in which he totaled three solo tackles and one interception, which he returned for the first defensive touchdown of his career. The 2023 fifth-round pick will continue handling a significant rotational role in Jacksonville's secondary during Sunday's wild-card round against the Bills. He has one more year remaining on his rookie deal with the team.

Johnson tallied five solo tackles and three pass defenses, including an interception, during the Jaguars' 48-20 win over the Jets on Sunday. Johnson started in the six games prior to Week 15, though he worked in a rotational role in the secondary behind starting safeties Eric Murray and Andrew Wingard. Johnson ended up playing more defensive snaps than the Jaguars' two starting safeties, and he closed Sunday's blowout win by picking off Brady Cook on a pass intended for Arian Smith late in the fourth quarter. It was Johnson's third interception of the season, which surpasses his total number of picks over the first two years of his NFL career. The 2023 fifth-rounder is up to 52 tackles (31 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and seven pass defenses through 14 regular-season games.

Johnson recorded eight tackles (six solo) during Sunday's 36-19 win versus the Colts. Johnson tied for his team's lead in tackles in Week 14 and compiled eight tackles for the first time since Week 5 of the 2024 season. His role in Week 15 versus the Jets could mostly depend on the availability of regular starting safety Andrew Wingard (concussion).
