Vikings offensive coordinator Norv Turner said Johnson is "far and away our best receiver" in comments to ESPN Cleveland while at the NFL combine.

Analysis:

Johnson emerged as one of Teddy Bridgewater's top targets in the second half of last season. Johnson had 19 receptions for 328 yards and two touchdowns in his final six games. With the Vikings possibly cutting Greg Jennings due to his high salary ($8.9 million base salary and $11 million cap hit) and Cordarrelle Patterson having fallen out of favor with the coaching staff last season, it's possible Johnson could emerge with a large role next season.
