The road to the 2024 NFL draft isn’t as long as it looks like — before we know it, the New Orleans Saints will be on the clock. And the first big milestone on this journey is in Mobile, Ala., which hosts the 2024 Reese’s Senior Bowl. Teams will be watching how some of the top draft-eligible players across the country perform as they compete against each other in practices leading up to the all-star game.

Johnson looked far-and-away like the best tight end in Mobile this week. He has a great size and agility combo that looked like and intriguing offensive prospect. He never had a chance to really shine in the Penn State offense, but did have seven touchdowns this past season as a solid red zone threat.
