Johnson's Broncos connections with Kubiak and Azzanni give him practice squad path.

Johnson is a 6'2, 195 physical receiver who is a traditional big slot/Z receiver. His path to the roster is primarily through connections: he played for the Broncos in 2022 (6 rec, 42 yards, 1 TD) and 2023 (19 rec, 284 yards, 4 TD) under a staff that included Klint Kubiak and Raiders WR coach Zach Azzanni. Udfa Isaiah Jatta believes Johnson will likely land on the practice squad but could get a call into the season if an injury occurs to receivers like Dont'e Thornton or Dareke Young.
