However, it seems the seventh-round gamble made by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is paying off 10 games into the season.

Johnson has already tallied 255 total receiving yards and four touchdowns in nine games played this season. In last Sunday’s 28-23 defeat against the New England Patriots, the receiver caught two touchdowns and logged 42 receiving yards.

Though he didn’t put up the same type of performance in the Bucs’ recent loss to the Buffalo Bills, Johnson is continuing to prove his worth and justify the team’s seventh-round pick in the draft.

Tampa Bay remains at the summit of the NFC South and will return home next Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams.
