Johnston would be another upside swing for the Patriots. The 2023 first-round pick has a nice combination of size (6-2, 208 pounds) and speed but has been dogged by drops and general inconsistencies at the NFL level. And while he hasn't found consistent success this season, he is averaging a dynamic 20.6 yards per reception, albeit on only eight catches.

Johnston's 20.6 yards-per-reception average and 2027 control window offer upside despite inconsistency.

The source identifies Johnston as an upside swing for the Patriots despite his history of drops and inconsistencies. The 2023 first-round pick has size (6-2, 208 pounds) and speed; he averaged 53 catches for 723 yards and eight touchdowns during 2024 and 2025, and is currently averaging 20.6 yards per reception on eight catches this season. Johnston is under team control through 2027, which could convince the Patriots to take a chance on molding him into a more consistent playmaker.
