Raiders DB Taron Johnson's Versatile Defense & New Team Journey
Video Transcript
Robbie Leonard asked everybody to be versatile on defense.
How exciting do you think this defense can be because of that aspect?
I mean, I think it can be extremely exciting.
I mean, we got guys like Quay play in the end, play outside backer.
Jeremy played linebacker, big nickel safety, you know what I'm saying?
So just having guys like that, I feel like the offense is always gonna have to be on their toes.
Can you speak to your own versatility and like how much that makes you?
Yeah, um, I think I'm one of the most versatile players in the NFL.
Um, I, I just feel like I can, I can cover with the best of them, and I, and I can tackle with the best of them.
So I just feel like I could do it all.
You were not only a great player in Buffalo for a long time but such a big.
There, uh, what has it been like to to make a change at this point in your career?
Uh, it, it's, it's been different, you know, um, but I just feel like, uh, God has me where I'm supposed to be, and, uh, I'm excited for this new chapter.
What's it been like so far being a member of the Raiders?
Uh, it's been great.
I mean, I, I love the city, um, bringing my family down here, like, it's, it's just, it's just been different.
I mean, being at one place for 8 years and then coming here my 9th year, um, just things are different, and I'm, uh, we're adapting well.
And what's has been your person of Clint Kubi at and how he's been operating.
Oh man, he's, he's very, not necessarily quiet, but he's not like a rah rah guy and, and, and that's cool, you know what I'm saying, but he lets it be known in those team meetings like he's letting it be known like if we're making mistakes, he's on it.
Like he's not letting nothing slide, and I feel like that's the start of making a good team is not letting the mistakes slide and just building off those things.
