Scouting report
Why it matters. Every measure is set against every ranked defensive back, so a strength here is a strength against the whole position, not just his own team. Sir Christian Johnson's strongest measure is interceptions per game at 0.10, 334th of 921 (the average is 0.08). His weakest is tackles per game at 1.6, 901st of 921 (the average is 3.7).
Season production
Why it matters. Volume is the first sign of how much a coaching staff trusts a player. His tackles per game, 1.6, ranks 901st among 921 ranked defensive backs.
Against every defensive back
Why it matters. Volume, efficiency and impact plays can tell different stories: a player can be busy without being effective, or rarely used but dangerous every time. Among ranked defensive backs he sits, on average, in the 2nd percentile for volume, 35th for efficiency and 58th for impact.
The season, game by game
Why it matters. Consistency matters to a team: one huge game and five quiet ones is a different season from six solid ones. Over 9 games, Sir Christian Johnson's best came in week 7 at Tarleton State and his quietest in week 1 against West Florida.
Where he does his damage
Why it matters. The shape of a player's production, not just its size, is what opponents scout.

Sir Christian Johnson is 403rd of 920 FCS defensive backs and 28th of 54 in the UAC. Next up nationally is Cameron Williams of North Carolina Central, 0.00 ahead on the index.
