Matt Miller on Tyler Johnson: Rd 6-7; He’s not fast. He’s not big. He’s not getting good character reports

Fact that TB stuck with him throughout all his preseason injury issues should say a lot about what they believe about him -- both in terms of talent and character. NFL is a cutthroat business. You'll be on the street pretty quickly if you can't play or don't work. Especially with Tom Brady as your QB, you can bet you'll rarely see a ball if you don't do the right things from Monday - Saturday. Kudos to TJ. I know it's just one game, but all of us who watched him for 4 years at MN know he'll be in the league for a long time.

NFL rosters are very thin and very competitive. Teams can only carry so many guys at each position. Training camp battles are brutal, and 5th - 7th round picks are routinely cut. With no preseason games and limited practices to show what he could do, TJ was at serious risk of getting dumped or put on a practice squad.

I have a different take...TB clearly did not want to lose TJ. Knows it got a gem in a late round.

So therefore they stuck with him because they didn't want to lose him. It seems like you are agreeing with the OP.
