Tyler Johnson captured a Super Bowl ring as a rookie in 2020, and the former Minnesota Gopher is coming on strong during the preseason for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Johnson landed with Tampa Bay as a 5th round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. Unfortunately, Johnson was a member of a loaded offensive unit that was led by quarterback Tom Brady.

The end result was a limited amount of touches for Johnson’s rookie season. He finished with 12 catches for 169 yards and 2 touchdowns during the regular season but he is looking to break through with a bigger role in his second season.

Though Tampa Bay is returning most of its roster from that Super Bowl-winning team, Johnson is doing his best to play his way onto the field more often. The latest example came with a spinning, one-handed grab during a joint practice with the Tennessee Titans.

Check it out:

That catch is already the second amazing grab for Johnson this preseason. He started training camp with another ridiculous catch, showing that he still has elite hands despite a reduced load as a rookie.

Hopefully, he’ll get more looks as he tries to work his way into regular playing time in Year 2.
