The best returning wide receiver for Texas football this season also has the most hype as an early round pick for the 2019 NFL Draft. Rising junior wide receiver Collin Johnson is getting hype as a potential first or second round pick next year, rivaling other top players at his position like A.J. Brown of the Ole Miss Rebels and Deebo Samuel of the South Carolina Gamecocks.
Last season, Johnson led the way for the Longhorns’ receiving corps. He hauled in more than 50 catches for 765 yards and two touchdowns. Johnson is also one of the returning leader in receiving touchdowns with the departure of former Texas wide receiver Armanti Foreman.
