It’s been easy to forget about Theo Johnson lately. The New York Giants just wrapped up an undefeated preseason, Jaxson Dart mania is in full swing, and Brian Daboll... Mike Kafka's offense suddenly looks like it can find the end zone. But while the spotlight has been flashing on everyone else, Johnson’s quietly been getting ready to break out.

The second-year tight end missed some time with a vague, undisclosed injury. It didn’t feel serious, but the silence was loud enough to raise eyebrows. Especially considering how electric he looked this summer — faster, sharper, stronger, and clearly locked in with both Wilson and Dart.
