Nick Johnson is a slippery, versatile Lions WR with return upside
In the 2024 season, East Texas A&M WR Nick Johnson flashed efficiency with 8 catches for 101 yards, averaging 12.6 yards per catch, and in 2025 he added a small rushing wrinkle with 5 yards on 1 carry, showing some gadget value. The fit is the appeal: a 5'10", 175-pound junior who can help as a reliable depth receiver and multi-use piece, not just a straight-line target. He looks like the kind of player who can quietly win a staff over by doing the little things and offering roster flexibility.
