Teyo Johnson (born November 29, 1981) is a former professional American and Canadian football tight end who last played for the Sacramento Mountain Lions of the United Football League. He was drafted by the Oakland Raiders in the second round of the 2003 NFL Draft. He played college football at Stanford.
Johnson was also a member of the Arizona Cardinals, Miami Dolphins, Denver Broncos and Buffalo Bills of the NFL and the Calgary Stampeders of the CFL.
Johnson grew up in Lynnwood, Washington and attended Mariner High School in Everett. He transferred to Mira Mesa Senior High School in San Diego, California during his senior year along with friend Amon Gordon, who is now a former American football defensive end of the National Football League.
Johnson was recruited to Stanford University as one of the most highly touted two-sport athletes in the country. He aspired to play quarterback, but as he was buried on the depth chart, the coaches switched him to wide receiver to get his talent on the field. In 2001, Teyo Johnson was Pac-10 Freshman of the Year at the position of Wide Receiver. He racked up 79 catches, 1,032 yards and 15 touchdowns in 22 games. After his season, when the new coach said he was switching Teyo to yet another position from Wide Receiver to Tight End for next season, he decided to leave school early and enter the NFL draft.
