Juwan Johnson’s shift to tight end could be exactly what he needs

Earlier this week, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.football published a piece discussing New Orleans Saints wide receiver Juwan Johnson. Reportedly, Johnson has been preparing for a possible shift to tight end. Thursday evening, Johnson may have confirmed the position change on his social media accounts.

The 6-foot-4, 230-pound wideout joined the New Orleans Saints as an undrafted rookie ahead of the 2020 season. At the time of his signing, some considered that a shift to the tight end role might be best for him. He ended up making the practice squad as a receiver, and played over 180 offensive snaps last year in a season marred with complications at the position.
