Johnson was a fifth-round draft pick of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020. He won a Super Bowl ring with Brady that season. Johnson had 48 catches in two seasons with Tampa Bay. He was cut last year and spent two games with the Houston Texans. The Minnesota product is 6-foot-1, 206 pounds.
He enters the offseason as a longshot to make the Raiders’ 53-man roster. But he does have some interesting experience and he could be someone to keep an eye on in the preseason.
