Pro Football Focus, or PFF, has released the names of Day 3 picks from the 2025 NFL Draft, which that it believes will significantly impact their teams despite the late selections. On that list is Bucs seventh-round pick Tez Johnson out of Oregon.
The former Duck has the most yards after the catch of any player since 2023 with 1,342 yards. PFF believes Tez Johnson may not immediately crack the starting lineup, but they have faith in him.
Max Chadwick writes, "While the Buccaneers have one of the most loaded receiving corps in the NFL, Johnson has the potential to make a surprising impact as a seventh-round pick. He is historically small for the position (5-foot-9 and 156 pounds), but he’s an elite route-runner and tallied the most yards after the catch in the nation over the past two seasons. He won’t start in Tampa Bay immediately, but don’t be surprised if he cracks the rotation. "
His style of play resembles that of a player he’s now reunited with, Bucky Irving.
Neither are very big nor have breakaway speed, but their short-area quickness and feet work make them a nightmare for opposing teams. Johnson will also look to impact the return game as the Bucs have struggled mightily to flip the field. Johnson, like Irving, looks to state the case that physical measurements can be evaluated, but not the heart.
