The bottom line is our offense has never revolved around the TE. We’ve always been blessed with a great RB and mediocre WRs (except for Jimmy, Keenan, ARob).

I think Lewis and maybe Brady has been the only Pro Bowlers.

Of course Johnson is saying he is willing to try it because he’s not a starter and he’s looking for starter type money. And it makes him more valuable when it’s time to make cuts. When Wilford moves to TE he was plain ol Ernest Wilford. Still heavy footed but he did atleast catch the ball.

lol, hes going into his 2nd year.  I think he is just saying that and willing to do whatever it takes to help the team win

Id try it a few times in camp just to see how it turns out.  The main thing for this to work would be how good is his blocking.  Not many LB's would be able to cover him thats for sure

It’s never about a player helping a team win. It’s always about them logging into their bank account to see if that check hit.

I don’t mean this in any demeaning tone...but it took me until my late 30’s to understand what life and sports and jobs is really about. It’s about 1 thing when it comes to jobs and sports. Vic said it best, it’s always about the money.

As a backup WR Johnson don’t care about anything except financial security, just like every other player in the league. It’s like a job interview every single day. So when pro players get asked a question they give their best answer. I’m in the best shape of my life, I’m ready to get to work, whatever it takes to get this team a win, I’m here to win football games and make plays, etc.

Most questions are rehearsed. 

He knows if he doesn’t cut the mustard then he will be cut. 

But man, if it makes you feel good then yes he’s doing it for the Team. Go Jags.
