The third-year tight end is inconsistent; he drops balls that appear to be easy catches but also makes difficult plays, as evidenced on Wednesday when he made two difficult catches with safety Tyler Nubin draped all over him.PositiveDepth ChartAug 3, 2026

The third-year tight end, who has struggled with catching consistency, had a strong day on Saturday with several nice catches, including a deep catch on a ball feathered beautifully over cornerback Jarrick Bernard-Converse by Jaxson Dart; this was a notable improvement after dropping easy passes in each of the first two practices.NegativeRoleJul 31, 2026

Theo Johnson has struggled with drops during the first two days of training camp, dropping easy completions and raising concerns about his receiving reliability.NegativeRoleJul 31, 2026
The third-year tight end, who has had an issue with drops over his first two seasons, dropped a pass for the second straight day during practice. This continued drop problem raises concerns about his reliability in the passing game.NegativeProjectionJul 27, 2026
Johnson continued to develop under Mike Kafka in 2025 and appeared to be blossoming into a potential Pro Bowl caliber player at times; however, his development has been far from linear and he's been plagued by injuries (text cuts off).NegativeRoleJul 27, 2026
Tight end is one of the more challenging positions to play as a rookie; Johnson had a tough early transition and said learning Brian Daboll's offense was like 'drinking water out of a fire hose.' He struggled with his assignments and as a receiver through the first six weeks of the season, although his blocking was always an asset. The Giants were perfectly comfortable throwing Johnson into the deep end, as he never played less than 70% of the snaps in a game and has solidified as a tight-end one on the team.NegativeInjuryJul 27, 2026
Johnson landed on IR with a season-ending foot injury that required surgery after playing only two games late in the 2024 season; he is missing valuable snaps and development even in the lost season.PositiveProjectionJul 27, 2026
Johnson played 73% and 89% of snaps in his final two games before landing on IR with a season-ending foot injury; he caught 8 of 11 targets for 93 yards in those two games and was showing promise down the stretch of the season. The source notes that some of his catches in recent weeks showed glimpses of a high-end athlete, and he's stretched the seams multiple times and made defenses pay for playing Cover-2. The game has seemed to slow down for Johnson, and he remains a high upside player with good foundation as a blocker.NegativeDepth ChartJul 23, 2026
With Isaiah Likely joining the Giants, Johnson will be demoted to the No. 2 tight end role. In 2025 when he did start, Johnson was a worthy pass-catcher, placing 19th with 528 receiving yards and five touchdown catches (tied for 13th in the NFL).NegativeRoleJul 22, 2026
TE Theo Johnson is 25 years old and is part of the Giants' young talent pool that extends beyond the blue chip under-24 core; the source notes that players 25 and older, including Johnson, would otherwise be considered young but fall outside the primary under-25 ranking.
