STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Johnson losing snaps to Likely; footwork and scheme familiarity disadvantage.

Johnson is the incumbent starter at tight end but has been outperformed by Isaiah Likely in camp. Likely's footwork and breaks have looked noticeably different and superior, and Likely appears to have a better grasp of the new offense due to his prior experience with Harbaugh and Greg Roman in Baltimore.
