Negative signalBust

Johnston's 3 catches on 11 targets with drops signals a disastrous 2026 campaign.

Johnston has been one of the most disappointing pass-catchers through the first two games despite leading the team in targets (11). He has only 3 receptions for 24 yards (T-5th and 5th on team, respectively). On Sunday, he dropped a perfectly thrown Cover 2 hole shot by Herbert that would have been a chunk play when the team needed momentum. The source notes that other times through two games, Johnston doesn't appear to be giving 100 percent effort, especially when needed to come back to the football and outmuscle defensive backs. After two solid seasons, this year could end up being disastrous if things continue.
