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.

BEST GAME OF JUWAN JOHNSON'S 2025 SEASON

Johnson's most impactful outing of the season came in the Saints' Week 17 victory over the Tennessee Titans. He finished with four receptions for 95 yards, consistently stretching the field vertically and creating explosive plays in the intermediate passing game.

Beyond the numbers, Johnson's performance helped stabilize the offense in a critical late-season contest. He made multiple contested catches, extended drives with key conversions, and demonstrated the type of big-play ability that made him such a valuable matchup piece throughout the year.

Taysom Hill on Juwan Johnson's work ethic and role with the Saints:

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.
