Tez Johnson Looks Out For His Fellow Receivers
August 25th, 2025
Team guy.
One reason Bucs rookie receiver Tez Johnson is popular in the locker room isn’t just his engaging personality. It’s because he really does preach teamwork.
After Saturday night’s game, Johnson spoke to WFLA-TV Channel 8 reporter Aileen Hnatiuk. It seemed as if Johnson tried to call out every Bucs receiver from Emeka Egbuka down to Garrett Greene. He talked them all up.
On Greene having a touchdown catch:
“Greeny is my boy,” Johnson said. “I will do anything for Greeny. He’s a very big part of this team. He does everything for this team.
“You could put him out there on defense and he will make a play. I’m proud of Greeny.”
On Ryan Miller, who Johnson said cleared space for him in order for Johnson to be able to grab his touchdown catch:
“[Ryan Miller] made that touchdown,” Johnson said. “I literally ran right behind him. He’s the only reason I caught that touchdown pass. Thank you, Ryan Miller, for that.”
On the wide receivers room:
“We motivate each other to be better every single day,” Johnson said. “There is no bad blood in the room. We are brothers. We are like family.”
Joe thinks Johnson will make the 53-man roster. Todd Bowles has bragged about his play and shrugged off his mistakes.
And there is no question that Johnson is the kind of player Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht envisions when he cites his “I Am That Man” adage.

If only ALL of our fans were as wise, supportive and loyal as our players.
I still can’t understand Bucs fan who are hateful and mean when we have heroes like the Buccaneers to teach them to be good men!
We are The Brotherhood.
Get on board, or walk the plank!
Go Bucs!

Tez is a beast and a good kid. Glad to hear the shout-outs to Miller and Buka. He said it right, “The Wide Receivers motivate each other.” Can’t get better than that! We are family. Go Bucs!

Tez to Licht: “What took you so long bro?” I started rooting for him at that moment.

Tez*

The excitement from that TD had me hollering

No idea why anyone would root against him. He has unique abilities that add something to our WR room. Plus, he always has a good attitude. He easily makes the team.

Love the “topsy turvy” picture when there is an article about Tez….its so….TEZ!

Definitely in the Tez Johnson fan club. What a talent, great story, and humble teammate.

Great pick!!
Keep them coming Licht!!!!!!!

Wow. That’s awesome. I’ve been skeptical, but that was natural. What a teammate. Sold.

Ladies and gentleman meet the new fan favorite.

This is why I love watching our team. They are good, but they are also good people that are a tight team. It makes me like them more and proud to be a fan of this team.

Instinct says Tez makes the team. I like him a lot despite his diminuitive minion-esque frame.
Having TWO fast-twitch guys on offense, both small with great agility and ability to make defenders miss is priceless.
Love our WR room and love our RB room. As others have commented, I’d like to see Kief on the PS and Williams round out a 4-RB room.
So many options on offense this year. I’m super excited about this year compared to last year.
Now, about that defense…. 😉

Tez is going 2 be a weapon behind buka n Evans. That short route quick twitch. I told ya’ll

There is much to be excited about Tez as a WR, but I hope the Bucs will see fit to use his boy “Greeny” to return punts.

Tried to tell yall that called him a dwarf etc etc.

I hope EE, Tez Johnson, and Parrish make the Final Cut.
