7/04/25 | Giants pass catcher ready to make 'huge difference' in second season. The New York Giants' second-year tight end, Theo Johnson, is set for a breakout 2025 season after a promising, albeit injury-shortened, rookie campaign. Drafted in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, Johnson displayed flashes of his immense potential despite battling adversity, including a season-ending Lisfranc injury that cut short his progress just as he was hitting his stride. Johnson started 11 of the 12 games he played in 2024, earning the TE1 role over Daniel Bellinger during training camp. During that period, he averaged just over three receptions per game, accounting for nearly 14% of the Giants' total completions in an offense that averaged 21.5 completions per game.
