Tez Johnson’s NFL Draft Scouting Report
Tez Johnson is a productive slot receiver whose tape generates looks due to his twitchy style of play and high route-running IQ. He understands how to work himself open, using a variety of releases and adjusting his stems to best attack each coverage he faces. He’s crisp coming out of his cuts and has the agility to make defenders miss after the catch.
Though he thrives on shorter routes, his quickness can be an asset on intermediate stems, too. Given his smaller stature and lack of ideal physicality, there’s always going to be a cap on Johnson’s ceiling at the next level. He struggles against press coverage and, while he can win on the perimeter if he has enough space, has limitations that will reduce his effectiveness against bigger CBs.
An ideal ceiling projection for Johnson is Tank Dell with his route running and catching instincts at his size, though Johnson doesn’t have as much vertical speed.

Tez Johnson’s Latest NFL Draft Projection
PFSN’s Ian Cummings projects that Johnson will be picked No. 126 overall by the Cleveland Browns in his latest seven-round mock draft.
“Tez Johnson becoming a Tank Dell-esque weapon is his best-case outcome. He’s not as fast as Dell, but he’s just as quick and sudden, and reuniting him with Dillon Gabriel could help.”
