With the 135th overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft, the Cowboys select Matt Johnson, SS (Eastern Washington). Tough run-defending safety who is best in a straight line. Effectively reads the action, directs his teammates in the secondary and forces his way up the field to make plays against the run. Squares into ballcarriers, goes for the knockout blow and is aggressive in all aspects of the game. Remains disciplined with coverage assignments in the middle of the field. Source: Sports Illustrated
