The Los Angeles Chargers made a big move in the first round of the 2023 NFL draft by selecting wide receiver Quentin Johnston from Texas Christian University (TCU) with the 21st overall pick. Despite the many talented players available in the draft, Chargers general manager Tom Telesco saw something special in Johnston.
Johnston had a standout college career at TCU, where he was a key part of their offense in 2022. He is known for his explosive plays and ability to score whenever he touches the ball. Chargers coach Brandon Staley is excited about what Johnston will bring to their team, saying “he’s a weapon to score the ball any time he touches it.”
Although Johnston is a skilled receiver, he is also praised for his character off the field. Johnston was gracious and humble during his introductory press conference, where he expressed his excitement to play for the Chargers.
Despite being selected in the first round, Johnston understands the importance of hard work and dedication. He has expressed his willingness to learn from Chargers’ veteran players and to improve his skills.
As the Chargers prepare for the upcoming season, fans are eager to see what Johnston will bring to their passing game. With his talent, work ethic, and character, Johnston is poised to make a big impact on the team and the league.
