Meet the New York Jets’ sleeper to earn WR2 duties

Who will assume WR2 duties on the New York Jets roster this coming season?

That is one of the hottest questions among Jets fans as the team lacks a clear-cut, reliable option behind wide receiver Garrett Wilson.

Enter Tyler Johnson.

Johnson signed with the Jets this offseason, marking his sixth stop throughout his NFL career. Originally selected by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL draft, Johnson has taken a winding path through the league.

Over the past four seasons, he has suited up for five different teams: Tampa Bay, Houston, Las Vegas, and the Rams, with a brief return to the Buccaneers in 2022.
