Great story. Loyal young man. Best of luck in the future…
Elite!
Amazing, I'm beyond happy he stayed for his senior year, not because he is an amazing contributor to the team(witch he is) but because he's a good person and a nice guy.
I love the fact that Tyler stayed home in Minnesota. Go Gophers!!!
My inspiration. One day big ten network will be interviewing me. And that’s for sure
Vikings need to get him !!!
Feature first round pick
From a WMU fan living in Kalamazoo, good luck P.J. At 4-3, we're missing you, but no hard feelings.
I remember when his basketball team traveled down to southeast MN to play us in basketball. He seemed like a great guy and a great competitor. I wish him the best of luck!
But he got a girl pregnant…
Can't wait to see this dude play on Sundays.

What a story!
Very proud of you.
Future Raider
John Lynch, please dont miss. Get this guy.
Please come play for the Vikes Tyler! I hope they draft you. 😀
Welcome to Green Bay ! Run fast at the combine and you might go before they pick . Best Wr in the draft next to one Jeudy .
Jus saw him play in the outback bowl
Minnesota fans help me out here… I recently saw this scout put out a list of top 10 receivers for the draft and Tyler Johnson wasn’t in his top 10. I asked where he was and he said he has off field concerns with Tyler. I don’t really watch Minnesota football but I have seen Tyler play a lot and he looks like the real deal and a great kid. Don’t see the off field issues at all
I cant believe many have ty johnson going in the 3rd round. Really being slept on in mocks. He's probably around the top 5 or 6 wrs for me. He's going to be better than most think.
Welcome Aboard!!!
Great story, seems like a down to earth humble kid. Can't wait to see him ball out catching passes from Tom Brady
Beautiful family
Welcome to Tampa!!
How did the Bucs get this talent in the 4th round?
Would love to see North and other mpls and St. Paul high school teams produce and flood the gophers with with future talent
Super bowl Champion
Congratulations on the Super Bowl win
