It appears D.J. Chark isn’t the only receiver who will be tying the knot soon as Collin Johnson will be doing the same, too. On Friday, the rookie receiver shared his proposal to his girlfriend, Sara Machado, via social media, which took place on the beach of Santa Cruz, California.
Per Johnson’s Twitter account, the two have been together since high school. Their relationship then continued through Johnson’s tenure with the Texas Longhorns to present day, which led him to pop the big question.

It’s been a crazy year for Johnson who was selected by the Jags in April’s draft in the fifth round. He signed his contract a few weeks ago around the same time rookie tight end Tyler Davis did, making his tenure with the Jags official.
Johnson was a star for the Longhorns’ explosive offense and exited his collegiate career with them with 188 catches, 2,624 receiving yards, and 15 touchdowns. Now that he’s with the Jags, the hope is that he can be a big-bodied target for quarterback Gardner Minshew II, especially in the red-zone as the Jags didn’t score a lot of points last season.
