Chargers WR Quentin Johnston impressing at OTAs

Quentin Johnston has looked sharp early on.

The Chargers are hopeful that wide receiver Quentin Johnston can provide a boost for their offense. And early on, as the team is amid their OTAs, Johnston has shown glimpses of being able to do that.

One of the areas of improvement for Johnston coming into the NFL was his route running, which has looked impressive.

Johnston has been sharp in his routes and quick in and out of his breaks, including on a rep where he beat cornerback Asante Samuel Jr.

Throughout the pre-draft process, Johnston was knocked for his hands, catching balls with his body and not meeting throws with ideal arm extension. But he has shown refinement in that department.

Keenan Allen heaped high praise on Johnston. Allen has been impressed with and said his “athletic ability” is through the roof.

While it’s only been in practice, the Chargers hope he can continue to develop his game and be more explosive at wide receiver and on offense, coming in the form of Johnston.
