MINNEAPOLIS — The Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected Minnesota Gophers wide receiver Tyler Johnson on Saturday in the 2020 NFL Draft.
The King of the North was instrumental in the Gophers 11-2 record in 2019, finishing the season with 86 receptions, 1,318 yards and 13 touchdowns across his 13 starts.
Before hopping on board with the Gophers, Johnson originally showed promise at his old stomping grounds of Minneapolis North High School, where he nabbed 2,606 yards and 36 touchdowns his senior year.
Johnson will be joining former teammate Antoine Winfield Jr. in Tampa Bay. The sophomore defensive back was selected by the Buccaneers in the second round of the NFL Draft on Friday.
