Collin Johnson will be the Jags’ go-to red zone threat at receiver

The Jags had issues getting into the red zone last year, converting just 40.4% of their attempts. That was a figure good for 31st in the league with only the Pittsburgh Steelers (35%) below them.

So how can they fix this issue? With a 6-foot-6, 222-pound target like fifth-round selection Collin Johnson, that’s how.

With such an abysmal figure, the Jags will almost certainly be better in the red zone. That should especially be the case with Jay Gruden becoming their new offensive coordinator. During his last three seasons in Washington, the Redskins were able to average red zone percentages of 48.8% or higher, significantly better than the Jags. That said, he may stress Minshew utilizing Johnson during training camp sessions as he possesses the ability to put balls that only his guys can get to.

Don’t be surprised to see Johnson register 10-13 red zone targets in 2020 and four to five touchdowns in the process.
