Jaylon Lawrence Johnson, a cornerback with the Chicago Bears of the National Football League, was born on April 19, 1999. He played collegiate football at the University of Utah.

After Kyle Fuller, a former teammate was released as part of a salary cap move, Johnson rose to the position of starting cornerback with the Bears. On September 19, 2021, Johnson intercepted a pass fired by Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow, becoming the first player in NFL history to do it.

On all passes to players he was covered throughout the first two weeks of the season, Johnson only allowed one reception while stopping three attempts and intercepting a ball. As a result, he received the highest pass coverage grade in the league up to that time, an advanced statistic that gauges a player’s ability to cover receivers.
