The Saskatchewan Roughriders have signed American wide receiver Braydon Johnson.
Johnson (6’0-200) joins the Roughriders after signing with the Buffalo Bills as undrafted free agent following the 2023 NFL Draft. He declared for the draft after a strong senior season at Oklahoma State that culminated in an invitation to the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl.
Johnson spent five seasons (2017-22) as a Cowboy, playing in 46 career games and starting 24. He tallied 1,298 career receiving yards, eight touchdowns and a 16.9-yard per catch average. He also contributed on special teams, returning 24 kicks 431 yards and an 18-yard per return average. As a senior, the Texas native made seven catches of at least 40 yards, ranking sixth in the FBS and second in the Big 12. He completed the year with a career high 32 catches for 566 yards and ranked fourth in the Big 12 with an average of 17.7 yards per catch.
On OSU’s Pro Day, Johnson posted a blistering unofficial 40-yard dash time of 4.40 seconds on his first attempt and 4.38 on his second, a time that would have placed him among the top five of the draft class.
