Tez Johnson deemed ‘unguardable’ at Reese’s Senior Bowl

Oregon Ducks star wide receiver Tez Johnson has had five years of college football to build a resume and show NFL teams why they should consider drafting him to the professional level. What he has done over the last day at the Reese’s Senior Bowl may be having the biggest impact, though.

Among the best players in the nation, Johnson is reportedly turning heads in Mobile, Alabama. Early on, he was deemed ‘unguardable’ in coverage against elite defensive backs.

Check out some of his highlights from Senior Bowl practice here. 

While Johnson’s measurables were less than ideal earlier this week—he weighed 5 feet 9 inches and 156 pounds—he has shown what he is capable of on the field with his elusive quickness and breakaway ability.

In two seasons at Oregon, Johnson had 169 catches for 2,080 yards and 20 touchdowns, acting as one of the Ducks’ best players of the Dan Lanning era.

There is still a long pre-draft process ahead of us leading up to April, but it’s clear early on that Johnson has made a name for himself this week at the Senior Bowl, and it would not be a shock to see some NFL team take a chance on him with a mid-round pick this year.
