Quentin Johnston is a Chargers wide receiver who rebounded from a rough rookie year into a reliable scoring threat.
Quentin Johnston entered the NFL as a first-round pick out of TCU but struggled badly as a rookie. He answered the doubters with strong follow-up seasons, becoming a consistent red-zone weapon for the Los Angeles Chargers. His size and downfield speed give the offense a vertical element.
Path to the league
Johnston played college football for the TCU Horned Frogs, where he developed into a big-play threat. The Los Angeles Chargers selected him in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft. His rookie campaign was widely viewed as a disappointment, but he bounced back over the next two seasons.
Career highlights
After a disastrous 2023, Johnston posted 55 catches for 711 yards and eight touchdowns in 2024, then followed with another eight-touchdown season in 2025. Per PFF, he had reestablished himself as a meaningful contributor in the Chargers' passing attack.
2025 season
Johnston caught 51 passes on 78 targets for 735 yards and eight touchdowns in 2025, averaging 14.4 yards per reception. He earned a 67.6 overall PFF grade for the year. His eight scores again made him a key part of the Chargers' offense.
