NewOrleans.Football’s Nick Underhill shared an interesting nugget this week about Juwan Johnson, the second-year pro out of Oregon whose first NFL snaps came at wide receiver. Underhill reports that Johnson has been practicing for a potential position switch to tight end, where he’s a natural fit at 6-foot-4 and 231 pounds. This follows social media footage of Johnson working out often with Jameis Winston early in the offseason, occasionally lining up with Adam Trautman in what appear to be two-tight end sets.
