Giants WR Collin Johnson, who tore his right Achilles late in a standout 2022 training camp, told me he is already running on turf and excited about returning even stronger for 2023. Rehab continues, but encouraging progress.
Man did the reports out of camp

sound promising on him.

He would have been this team's slam dunk #1 WR ...

BUT - maybe they don't find Hodgins if he's healthy.

How about that for a pandora's box :)
I hope he comes back strong

he looked really good this past preseason. Achilles injuries can be tricky though for receivers and RB’s. The good thing is he’s not a speedster type WR and it also depends on whether it was a rupture or partial tear.

Can draft a wr1, hodgins, collin johnson and wandale is actually a pretty decent room.

Counting on Collin Johnson and Wandale Robinson to be full contributors early in the season would be something DG would do.
I don't know

How does a WR come back stronger after a torn Achilles?

Is he going to say he's looking forward to coming back weaker?

Yup, add Richie James in there as well.
He was looking pretty good

before he got hurt.

6'6" with 4.5-4.6 speed aint bad. Hope he can make a comeback. The more competition the better.
He was the preseason star

Hope he can make it all the way back.

Not necessarily. He's a FA and may not be back.

lets not overrate him. if I remember correctly, he looked to be more explosive than previous yr. But he isnt a #1. but could be a hodgins type
That's very true...  
Dnew15 : 1/24/2023 5:00 pm : link
you're right :)

It's easy to get carried away sometimes.
Great news and great to hear!

Just pointing out what a nothing statement that is.
Taller than Golladay, but slower than KG, and more injured than KG.  
Marty in Albany : 1/24/2023 5:22 pm : link
However, he'll be a whole lot cheaper than Golladay and won't be a cap problem when he's cut.

Golladay is a "has been," but after a year with the Jags and a year with the Giants, Johnson has not yet been anything. I wish him the best, but I'd rather gamble on a healthy rookie prospect.

Golladay is definitely slower now. Johnson in preseason looked notably quicker than Golladay ever has in a Giant uniform.
