Theo Johnson
TE - New York Giants
2024 Outlook
Expert Note
View More NotesJohnson opened plenty of eyes this year in Mobile at the Senior Bowl. He earned separation with ease while shining in red zone drills. Johnson is a big red zone target who operates well with targets above his head, as he can play above the rim. He struggles more with some passes outside of his frame, which are either behind him or low. He was utilized heavily with screens and out routes, but when we have seen Johnson used downfield and up the seam, he has produced. He has the straight-line speed to run past linebackers and get downtown. Johnson needs to work on sinking his hips on comebacks and hitches. He can uncover on underneath routes, but he looks lumbering at times when he needs to drop those hips or change direction quickly. Johnson has decent play strength, but he needs to do a better job deploying it after the catch. For an athlete of his caliber and size, it's surprising that he only forced seven missed tackles and 5.0 yards after the catch per reception in college. Dynasty Outlook: Assuming Darren Waller does retire, Johnson will compete with Daniel Bellinger for playing time. Johnson and Bellinger share some similarities as tight ends with staunch physical profiles but lackluster collegiate receiving ledgers. Johnson is a late fourth-round rookie draft pick in tight-end premium leagues or a waiver wire pickup after the draft. The receiving depth chart behind Malik Nabers isn't outstanding. If Johnson can earn the starting gig in year one, he could at least be a matchup-dependent streaming type.
