Height: 6’6

Hands: 10”
Arms: 32”

Class: Junior

Stats
A former four-star recruit out of Holy Names High School in Windsor, Ontario (Canada), where he was the first Canadian-ranked prospect and the third tight end in the 2020 recruiting class. Johnson was voted All-Big-10 honorable mention in 2023 and was on the Mackey Award watch list.
Johnson attended the Reese’s Senior Bowl and did not disappoint. His size and speed combination display the immense potential that he possesses. Still, his skills in the role with the Penn State offense weren’t as featured as they would have been in other situations. Johnson only had 100 targets through four seasons (1,740) total snaps.

Summary
Theo Johnson has an above-average blend of size and speed for an NFL tight end. He has a ton of potential with not a lot of college production to substantiate his talent. He can play in any system and is a functional blocker that is technically sound, albeit not dominating. His play strength won’t be an issue, but it won’t be a true asset either.
However, his ability to deceptively run routes and disguise his breaks will lead to more separation; that, coupled with his natural hands and ability to extend away from his frame, should provide wider throwing windows for quarterbacks at the next level. Johnson should be productive early in his career and can carve out a role on any offense.
