Quentin JohnstonWRLAC

Matt Harmon projects Quentin Johnston for ~900 yards with a good amount of touchdowns, living off big plays as a volatile boundary receiver. Johnston improved dramatically from 2024 to 2025 across coverage types: 61% success rate vs. man (up from 52%), 79.5% vs. zone (up from 75%), and 58.6% vs. press (up from 53%)—still below average against man and press but representing significant year-over-year gains. His dig route was his strongest at 75% success rate (up from 64%), and he improved dramatically on post routes from 54% to 77% success rate, demonstrating meaningful improvement in inbreaking and outbreaking techniques. His drop rate was low in 2024 (first year without being consistently haunted by drops), but he maintains an average-ish contested catch rate and will likely continue to struggle in contested-catch situations. Harmon uses 2020 Corey Davis (10.7 yards per target, efficient plays on lower volume) as a comparable outcome, reflecting the Chargers' expected 11 personnel-heavy offensive structure similar to the 2020 Titans (31st in 11 personnel rate at 39.3%).

Source transcript excerpt
We're talking about a guy that posted nearly a 61% success rate versus man... 79.5% against zone... 58.6% success rate versus press coverage. Again, still a below average number, but overall, Matt, this is a guy who has improved dramatically going for 2024 to 2025... he was really strong on dig routes. 75% success rate on the dig, 64% on the year prior... going from 54% um success rate on the post... to then posting a 77% success rate on the post in 2025... I do think that's kind of a similar season that QJ could have. Like 900-ish yards, a good amount of touchdowns, kind of living off big plays.
