With the 21st pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, the Chargers selected TCU wide receiver, Quentin Johnston. The freakishly athletic 6’4 wideout amassed 1,067 yards and six touchdowns for the Horned Frogs on their way to the national championship in his junior season. Those numbers would likely have been higher if he had not dealt with a few minor injuries along the way.
A massive target, Johnston combines both size and speed and his unique stop-start ability also shows after the catch. Johnston averaged 8.9 yards after the catch in 2022 (10th in FBS), and his 18 forced missed tackles ranked eighth this season among receivers in the power five conferences. Johnston is a prototypical vertical receiver whose natural athleticism and size should translate quickly to the NFL.
