Theo Johnson Ready for Bigger Role in NY Giants Offense

New York Giants

New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson is ready for his second NFL campaign. “Yeah, I think that I can step into a bigger role this year and add a little bit more value than I did last year,” the former Penn State standout said after Friday’s practice. Before suffering a season-ending foot injury on Thanksgiving, Johnson, who had quietly moved into the TE1 role for the Giants, was just starting to get into a groove, which kicked into gear around Week 5 when he caught all five of his pass targets. From that point on, the coaches put more on Johnson’s plates, giving him longer and more challenging routes to run, as well as blocking responsibilities.
