San Francisco 49ers defensive back Drake Johnson is in the midst of his first year in the NFL.
So far this season he has recorded 12 total tackles and five deflections. While he isn’t the biggest star on the defensive side of the ball at the moment, he does play a key role on arguably the best defense in the league today.
In addition to his on-the-field accomplishments, Johnson also seems to be doing quite well for himself off the field.
Recently, his girlfriend Bri Kahanu blew up big on social media. And it’s not particularly difficult to see why:

Kahanu currently has 6,000 followers on Instagram, but that number figures to grow as Johnson’s role on the squad develops and the Niners continue to enjoy success.
Interestingly enough, Kahanu isn’t the only 49ers girlfriend to make headlines in recent weeks.
Wild photos featuring quarterback Brock Purdy’s sister and girlfriend blew up online not too long ago.
And before that, Nick Bosa’s model girlfriend sent him a very provocative message on social media when she decided that their love affair had come to an end.
Plus, who could forget wide receiver Deebo Samuels’ leaked photo controversy?
San Francisco looks every bit like a Super Bowl team this year. That comes with its fair share of positives and negatives.
On the plus side, obviously the team will get to compete for a title.
On the negative side, though – you get a lot of attention. Sometimes it’s good; sometimes it’s bad.
That’s quite the Christmas video. https://t.co/mHKXGOVsrl

In any case, the Niners’ defense looks to have a bright future with Johnson on the roster. And so long as he is around, Kahanu will be as well.
Does this duo have the makings to be the NFL’s next big power couple?
Time will tell.
