The Jacksonville Jaguars addition of Texas receiver Collin Johnson was arguably their biggest of Day 3. The young receiver was quite popular while with the Longhorns as he put together a solid collegiate career, totaling 188 catches for 2,624 career receiving yards and 15 touchdowns.
Just like Jags fans and NFL fans in general, his alma mater was pretty pumped about him being selected with the No. 165th selection. In fact, they were so excited they shared his new look as he’ll be turning in his burnt orange and white uniform for a black, teal, and white uniform in the pros.

Looks like it was meant to be if you ask me.
Johnson will come into a pretty solid receiving corps that includes Pro Bowler D.J. Chark, Dede Westbrook, Chris Conley, Keelan Cole, and second-round selection Laviska Shenault Jr. The hope for fans is that Shenault and Johnson can join Chark on the outside, which should allow the Jags to kick Westbrook back into the slot where he’s the most dangerous.
