Tez Johnson, the dynamic wide receiver from Oregon, was selected by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the seventh round (235th overall) of the 2025 NFL Draft. Known for his explosive playmaking ability, Johnson brings a wealth of experience and versatility to the Buccaneers crowded receiving corp. Over his collegiate career at Troy and Oregon, he recorded 310 receptions for 3,889 yards and 28 touchdowns across 62 games.
Johnson’s draft stock declined at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine. Johnson weighed in at 154 pounds, the lightest of any participant that year. He ran a 4.55-second 40-yard dash, which was slower than expected for a player of his size. Despite these concerns, he did post the best three-cone drill time among all receivers, highlighting his agility and quickness.
In fantasy football, Johnson’s value will depend on his ability to carve out a role in the Buccaneers offense. His quickness and agility make him a potential asset in PPR formats, especially if he secures a role in the slot receiver position. However, his small frame and lack of elite speed may limit his upside. Fantasy managers should monitor his progress during training camp and preseason to assess his potential role and value for the upcoming season.

Oregon’s star wide receiver Tez Johnson had an unimpressive Combine.
Tez Johnson wide receiver out of Oregon had a rather disappointing performance at the Combine. His came in 5’9” and weighting just 154 pounds. His measurables lone were disappointing. Then came time for the 40-yard dash. During the week he got asked the question, “What to expect in his 40 time?” His reply, “If you blink, you might not see me.” Well, running a 4.55 think most blinked twice. This was the lowest 40 time ever for anyone weighting less than 170 points. While his 40 time and size were below standards he did have the best 3 cone drill time for all participants at the wide receiver position.
With bad measurables and 40 his draft stock will be on the decline. His game film showed a lot faster than a 4.55, but he is projected to be a Day 3 pick or Undrafted. Depending on landing spot could be a dart throw in your Dynasty Draft.
