Theo Johnson, the former Penn State Nittany Lions tight end, will begin his rookie season with the New York Giants on the PUP list.
Theo Johnson, the New York Giants' rookie tight end from Penn State, will begin his first season on the Physically Unable to Perform list. The Giants released the news Tuesday, when rookies reported to training camp.
Johnson had made a strong first impression during spring workouts and caught the eye of head coach Brian Daboll. Johnson told reporters during rookie minicamp that he believes he has a "super high ceiling" in the NFL. Johnson caught seven touchdown passes for the Nittany Lions last season and then turned in one of the best performances ever for a tight end at the NFL Scouting Combine. According to RAS, a site that determines relative athletic scores of combine participants, Johnson scored a 9.99 out of a possible 10 in combine drills. It was the second-highest value among tight ends over the past 37 years.
