67. Johnny Holton

A wide receiver out of the University of Cincinnati, Holton earned a reputation as a playmaker.

He was limited in 2015 with various injuries, catching only 17 passes, but nearly half of them went for more than 25 yards. His average yards-per-catch was a ridiculous 27.1 yards, and he hauled in five touchdowns.

At 6’1″, 190 lbs., he’s on the small-size for wide receivers, but he’s compensated by being a home-run hitter, so to speak. He ran a 4.42 40-yard dash at his Pro Day.

Like many other of the UDFA’s, Holton also has experience as a kick returner, and that’s likely where he’ll have to make an impact to earn a roster spot.
