Los Angeles Chargers’ Bold Prediction – Quentin Johnston Has 1,000 Yards Receiving As A Rookie

The Chargers have invested heavily in weapons for Justin Herbert over the years, signing Mike Williams to a long-term contract and drafting Quentin Johnston in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft. Johnston appears set to begin the season as the Chargers’ third receiver but his unique skill set should mesh nicely with Herbert, allowing him to become one of Los Angeles’ go-to-guys.

The Chargers had to like what they saw in college from Johnston, who was a big play machine for TCU as the Horned Frogs advanced all the way to the national championship game. Another receiver was also a necessity for Los Angeles after Williams and Keenan Allen missed time due to injury a year ago, leaving Joshua Palmer and Jalen Guyton as Herbert’s top targets for significant stretches.

Allen is now 31 years old and showed a bit of a decline before getting hurt while Williams has missed at least two games in three of the past four years. If either player misses time that should open up more targets for Johnston, who can be a home run hitter for the Chargers offense.

The Chargers’ schedule is also loaded with strong offensive teams, which should lead to plenty of games where Herbert has to out-gun the opposition to produce a victory. That will also aid Johnston’s effort to surpass 1,000 yards as a rookie and contend with Bijan Robinson for Offensive Rookie Of The Year Honors.
