It’s hard to miss wide receiver Collin Johnson when he steps onto the field at nearly 6-foot-6, 221 pounds.
For the past four years, Johnson was a key piece of the Longhorns offense. As a junior, Johnson compiled 68 receptions for 985 yards and seven touchdowns. It was clear the potential has always been there, showcasing several acrobatic catches in clutch moments with Texas.
Elected by his teammates as team captain for the 2019 season, Johnson battled numerous injuries which ultimately hindered his draft stock. Fortunately, that wasn’t his final chance to showcase his talents.
After accepting an invite to participate in the Senior Bowl this week in Alabama, Johnson is taking full advantage of the opportunity to shine in front of NFL scouts and executives.
Throughout the South practice today, the former Longhorn turned heads with his impressive route running considering his lengthy size. Take a peek at a few of Johnson’s highlights below.
Aaand just as I talk about Dane Jackson and how he looked, good Collin Johnson leaves him in the dust here.
Nice job of Johnson to eat up the cushion, and then get into Jackson’s blind spot to leave him in the dust.

A really good rep from Collin Johnson, less so from Kalija Lipscomb #SeniorBowl pic.twitter.com/KiA4yyQ8u1

If Johnson continues to put together impressive reps at the Senior Bowl this week, his draft stock could rise significantly.
