Theo Johnson - TE - Penn State - 6'6" 260
The Bengals return to Penn State and select a very interesting TE prospect. Johnson is a technically sound and experienced inline blocker as well as offering some real match up issues as a receiver. I believe that the Bengals will return both Hudson and Sample and Johnson should make an outstanding addition to the room. Aside from being a developed blocker Johnson has shown natural hands, good route running, and the ability to produce yards after the catch. Johnson brings enough long speed to challenge the back end of the defense and to give trouble to linebackers attempting to run with him.
With continued growth I could see Johnson being a high end starting NFL TE.
Theo Johnson is an experienced blocker but from the H-Back and Flex. Tyler Warren was Penn State's inline or Y-Tight End in 2023 and in 2022 Warren split that duty with Brenton Strange that played Y and H in 2022.
Theo Johnson does fit the Bengals spread rpo as the H and F.
