Number one cornerback Truman Johnson would spend most of his time talking about how lucky he is to be a member of this Rams team.

"“First off, this weather you can’t beat it it’s nice. Throughout the year man, it’s LA. It’s going to create opportunities on and off the field. It’s good to come back with my teammates in team activities, I’m coming back home also. It’s a great feeling to get the tag placed with the Rams, The last time they placed was back in 08-09 so it’s a blessing” – Johnson"

Last year cornerback Truman Johnson would lead the Rams to a team high seven interceptions along with returning one of those for a touchdown. Johnson proved last year that he deserves to be paid, and that’s what the Rams did by placing their franchise tag on him.
