JUWAN JOHNSON 2025 SEASON ANALYSIS
New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson continued to establish himself as one of the most reliable and consistent weapons in the offense during the 2025 season. Playing in all 17 games, Johnson provided stability in the passing game amid offensive changes and evolving quarterback play, emerging as a dependable target in both critical downs and high-leverage moments.
Johnson finished the season with 77 receptions for 889 yards and three touchdowns, setting career highs in both catches and receiving yards. He became a frequent middle-of-the-field option, using his size and improved route running to consistently find soft spots in zone coverage and create matchup problems against linebackers and safeties. His role expanded beyond the stat sheet as well, as he continued to be trusted as a blocker in multiple personnel groupings, helping the Saints maintain balance offensively.

I love Juwan. Juwan is a great friend. I’ve had a lot of fun working with him. He’s a guy that puts in the extra time. He’s out early to practice, stays late, prepares really hard. He’s one of those guys that’s just a unique matchup, and he’s a big, physical, fast player … We’re obviously trying to get the ball in his hands.
