Collin Johnson, Wide Receiver

Texas football has a potential All-American and first round 2020 NFL Draft prospect coming back at wide receiver for this coming season. Rising senior star wide receiver Collin Johnson is one of the most potent threats that any offense in the nation can boast. At 6-foot-6 and with an excellent vertical and strong hands, Johnson is a nightmare to defend for any opposing secondary.

Similar to how difficult Johnson is to defend for Big 12 secondaries, the three dragons in Game of Thrones nearly always gives Daenaerys Targaryen the edge in any battle. That was until the most recent season of the show.

While the dragons proved vulnerable in the last two seasons of GoT, there were a few instances where Johnson was shut down too. He was huge for the Longhorns against the likes of the Oklahoma Sooners and TCU Horned Frogs. But he didn’t do so hot in losses to the West Virginia Mountaineers and Oklahoma State Cowboys.

Most of the human characters in GoT don’t do justice when comparing them to the abilities of Johnson on the gridiron. He’s just too good for most defensive backs in the Big 12 to do anything about. You can just toss the ball up to him on the outside, and he’ll come down with it more often than not.
