Chargers Won't Ask Too Much Of Quentin Johnston
2 years agoThe Los Angeles Chargers took TCU wide receiver Quentin Johnston in the first round of the NFL draft on Thursday night, and he joins a receiver group in LA that includes Keenan Allen, Mike Williams and Joshua Palmer, all of whom will likely remain key components on offense. Johnston could be viewed as a long-term option. In the short term, the team won't ask Johnston to be a WR1 or likely even a second option in the passing attack. Initially, Johnston will likely only be more of a deep threat to stretch opposing defenses. He'll need to improve his polish on route-running and ball-finishing skills before he becomes a complete product, but it's hard not to like his big-play potential in an already potent offense. Like most rookies, Johnston will be more attractive in dynasty/keeper formats than redraft leagues in 2023.
