The Bucs drafted Oregon wide receiver Tez Johnson in the 7th round, their last pick of the 2025 NFL Draft, and he was electric talking to the media in his zoom press conference just minutes after getting drafted.

Johnson spoke about his relationship with Bucky Irving and even claimed that he already has a starting role on this team, although it’ll come through special teams.

“I can tell you right now, any team I was going to get drafted to, that punt return is mine,” Johnson said.  “It’s something I take pride in. I would not want to be the receiver that just plays receiver. I want to play both – receiver and punt returner. That’s my goal in the league – to be a dynamic punt returner, and then to have some pieces to the offense and be able to work as a receiver, too, like being a Swiss Army Knife. I can’t wait to get there and be able to help the team for sure.”

Pewter Report also shared their opinions and reactions on the Live Draft Show about Tez Johnson coming to Tampa Bay.
