Florida Gators cornerback sees charges dropped
Florida defensive back Dijon Johnson saw all charges related to a May 2 traffic stop dropped against him, according to The Independent Florida Alligator, which confirmed the story with the State Attorney's Office. Johnson was arrested after being pulled over for running a stop sign. He faced felony charges of possession of a controlled substance and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. Officers also tacked on a misdemeanor resisting an officer without violence charge after Johnson failed to exit the vehicle as commanded. "We have worked closely with prosecutors on this for the past few months and are pleased with their diligence and professionalism," Johnson's attorney, Tim Taylor, said. "Dijon and his family are happy to have this matter behind them. Dijon is focused on his academic and football commitments and is excited for the start of the football season." It's a timely decision for both Florida and Johnson with spring training camp starting on Wednesday. With the cloud hanging over his head now gone, Johnson can go into the preseason with a clear mind. He's expected to be a major contributor in Florida's secondary after stepping into a starting role in the second half of last season. Johnson made his first start against Georgia on Nov. 2, and he was a starter for the big four-game run Florida put together to finish off the 2024 campaign. Pro Football Focus gave him a 67.4 overall defense score last season, ranking fifth among Florida's secondary. Johnson's 550 snaps played were the most of any cornerback on the roster last year. He recorded 25 tackles (16 solo), one tackle for a loss and two pass break-ups. As a freshman, he played in all 12 games but primarily in a special teams role. He finished 2023 with two tackles and one fumble recovery.

6-foot-4, 310-pound Georgia freshman DL reportedly running over 20 MPH
Former Georgia Bulldogs defensive end David Pollack knows a good defensive lineman when he sees one. If Pollack highlights the talent a true freshman and former five-star recruit, then it is worth listening to. That's exactly what Pollack did when he talked about Georgia freshman defensive lineman Elijah Griffin. Pollack shared ample praise about Griffin on his podcast, "See Ball Get Ball". "Enormous, 6-foot-5, you know, 300-plus pound kid, that's an 18-year-old freshman, that continues to hit over 20 miles an hour every week on the GPS," said Pollack. Based on those numbers, Griffin would be one of the fastest players his size in both college and the NFL. In fact, only three ball carriers reached 20 miles per hour during the Super Bowl, so Griffin has an impressive combination of size and speed. For reference, Elijah Griffin is listed at 6-foot-4 and weights 310 pounds on Georgia's roster. The question is will Griffin be able to put it all together as a freshman? The five-star recruit may have to log a significant amount of snaps this fall as Georgia looks to replace seven of their top eight sack producers from last season. "I think he's a guy (Griffin) that can come in and play a bunch of snaps and and be really good," said Pollack. "Now, he's not going to go kill it. Jalen Carter-type good. Like Jalen Carter when you saw him as a freshman, like he was not refined. He wasn't Jalen Carter as a as a junior." Carter recorded 14 tackles as a freshman with Georgia in 2020. Georgia's 2020 defense was more loaded up front than what the 2025 version of the Georgia defense looks like, so we think Griffin will have a bigger role than Carter did as a freshman. Carter went on to be a first-round NFL draft pick and an NFL All-Pro and Super Bowl champion with the Philadelphia Eagles. "That dude (Griffin) is a guy that you could play and you go I'm not going to have a big drop off," added Pollack. "And when he learns to use his hands and it all starts to work, you better watch the freak out." Despite Pollack's praise for Elijah Griffin, he still has concerns about the Georgia defensive and offensive line. In fact, Pollack predicts that Georgia will go 9-3 this season.
