    Interestingly enough, he’s now the starting TE at Oregon.

    I can see that. He was quite an athlete

    He's actually the 3rd string TE. The two guys above him as well as their freshman TE are out.

    He had a decent game, caught a few screen passes in open space and got a short TD but i doubt he would have seen a snap if the other TEs were healthy

    He also had some devastating blocks the sprung a couple runs.

    Once Johnson switched to TE and wound up fifth on the depth chart behind a DE that couldn’t catch the clap in a Romanian brothel, a 26 year old sophomore who last caught a TD from Braxton Buttmeister (beautiful read he got down), and the youngest Herbert child - he seemed done.

    I was sure the next time I’d see his name it would be followed by ‘enters the transfer portal’ or ‘Ballz told you he was too fat and overrated.’

    It was a pleasant surprise when the other four TEs all got injured or quarantined or something and he wound up playing really well. Led the team with 5 catches for 55 and a TD while mauling Stanford in the run game. It’s almost like 6’5” 260 pound athletic guys are good at playing TE, I wonder if any pro teams have looked into this phenomenon.

    This. His size and athleticism matches well with cristoball’s physical style.
