Johnson was selected 65th overall by the Rams in the 2012 NFL Draft. In Week 4 of the 2012 season, Johnson recorded his first career interception.
With the injuries and poor play of Cortland Finnegan, Johnson earned his first significant starting duty in 2013, playing in all 16 games, starting 12. He finished with 68 tackles 3 interceptions and a forced fumble.
Slated as the starting corner opposite Janoris Jenkins, Johnson suffered disappointment in 2014, when in the Rams third preseason game versus the Cleveland Browns, he injured his knee and was carried off the field on a cart. The next day he was declared out for 6 weeks.
In 2015, Johnson led the team in interceptions with 7. Pro Football Focus ranked Johnson as the 16th best cornerback in 2015.[4] Also according to Pro Football Focus, Johnson allowed the lowest quarterback rating out of every cornerback in the league [5]
On March 1, 2016, the Rams placed the franchise tag of around $14 million on Johnson however on July 15, 2016, both sides failed to strike a long-term contract meaning that Johnson will play under a franchise tag.
