Johnson headed for "Jared Cook-type of role"

Juwan Johnson "seems headed for a Jared Cook-type of role" for the Saints, The Athletic's Katherine Terrell writes. Johnson went undrafted last year after playing WR in college (3 seasons at Penn State, 1 at Oregon). He went catch-less last year and has now made the switch to TE at 6'4, 230 pounds. Johnson played 4 of 20 snaps with the 1st-team offense in the preseason opener and didn't see a target. We're not ready to consider him a fantasy option yet. But any type of role Johnson plays in the passing game would be bad news for TE Adam Trautman.
