Tez
Johnson

Tez enjoyed a breakout game in Week 5 of 2025. During a win at Seattle that marked his fourth NFL game, Johnson hauled in all four of his targets for 59 yards, with a long reception of 27 yards that sparked a touchdown drive. The Buccaneers took him in the seventh round because they love the agility and balance he brings to complex routes from the slot.

If you join a loaded depth chart like Tampa Bay's, you best come with credentials. Johnson did, with 2,080 receiving yards and 20 touchdowns during his two years at Oregon. "He has a chance to be a vital part of our offense if he continues trending the way he's trending," head coach Todd Bowles said.

Tez Johnson has a lot of upside as a slot receiver. My goal is to be the best player I can be. Johnson's goal is to be the best player he can be. There's a lot of middle games.

The tape tells all. Sure, as low fast for are Johnson tape told the Buccaneers they'd become a lot faster team. There's a lot of instances where he's the fastest player on the field, assistant GM Rob McCartney said. There's multiple games that thought he was the best player on the field. You.

Johnson manifested reuniting with his friend and fellow Oregon alum Bucky Irving on the Bucs. "Tez used to always say when he would be watching my games or anything like that, he would say, 'Bro, I want to come down with you to Tampa,'" the second-year back said on the Up & Adams Show.

The Jam tells all. Soda as how fast and are. Johnson came hold the Buccaneers that thought he was the best player on the field. Rob McCartney said, 'There's multiple games that he's the best player on the field, assistant GM Rob McCartney said. 'There's multiple games where he's the easiest throw because a lot easier team. There's a lot of distance came hold the Buccaneers'

Johnson uses the same set of slippery skills to help him in three different areas. As a route-runner, he slithers around coverages and strikes into open areas. After a catch, he rattles past tackle tries. Tying it all together on special teams, he hisses as a star punt returner.

After going undefeated in the regular season, Oregon prepared for a Big Ten title game clash against Penn State on Dec. 7, 2024. It's safe to say Johnson came ready to play from the opening whistle. Slicing apart the secondary, he caught 11 passes for a season-high 181 yards and a TD in the Ducks' 45-37 win.

One of three teams to post at least 40 passing touchdowns in 2024, the Buccaneers finished with 41. During the subsequent draft, the team looked to keep that aerial attack in awesome shape. Johnson joined the club after totaling 20 touchdowns over two seasons with the Oregon Ducks.
