| 7/05/25 | Chargers' second-year WR emerges as team's 'most promising building block'. The Los Angeles Chargers' aerial attack was quite the topic this offseason. Following another disappointing campaign from their first-round pick in 2023, Quentin Johnston, the calls for a new No. 1 wideout grew louder than ever. Los Angeles didn't go after any big names in free agency, instead preferring to bring back Mike Williams. In the draft, they added Tre Harris, who has the potential to be a starter, but is still an unknown. Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/chargers/chargers-most-prom... |
| 6/14/25 | Chargers coaches make Quentin Johnston sound like a guy about to prove doubters wrong. It's been a rollercoaster two years for Quentin Johnston. Since being drafted in the first round by the Los Angeles Chargers in 2023, Johnston has, so far, failed to live up to the hype. Johnston would end 2023 with just 431 yards and two touchdowns, a major letdown from what many had expected to be a stellar season. 2024 was somewhat better, as Johnston put up 711 yards and led the Chargers with eight touchdown catches.

| 6/04/25 | Los Angeles Chargers coach drops blunt statement on maligned WR. The Los Angeles Chargers had a big need at wide receiver heading into the offseason, and much of that was due to the fact that former first-round pick Quentin Johnston has been a considerable disappointment over his first couple of seasons. Johnston did manage to catch 53 passes for 711 yards and eight touchdowns in 2024, but he struggled with drops, and his zero-catch performance — on five targets — during the Chargers' Wild Card Round playoff loss to the Houston Texans was the last straw for many Bolts fans. Los Angeles proceeded to select a pair of receivers in Tre Harris and KeAndre Lambert-Smith during the NFL draft back in April, indicating that the Chargers may also be getting fed up with Johnston.

| 5/31/25 | Chargers' Quentin Johnston ignores noise, puts up fun highlight with Justin Herbert. Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston has kept his head down and worked this offseason despite all the buzz around his name. Johnston, the former first-round pick, had to sit and listen to outsiders and fans speculate that he's on the hot seat while playing one of the “worst” positions on the Chargers' depth chart. But Johnston has popped up in workout footage sporadically this offseason while the Chargers were busy adding Mike Williams in free agency and drafting super-hyped rookie Tre Harris in the second round.

| 5/27/25 | Chargers' biggest problem area thrown under microscope as OTAs start. When it comes to weaknesses on the Los Angeles Chargers roster, most of the attention goes to the offensive trenches and perhaps the depth of the secondary going into Year 2 of Jim Harbaugh. Quentin Johnston began to come around, bumping his yards per route run (YPRR) from a frustrating 0.94 as a rookie to 2.04 in 2025 -- 30th-best among qualified NFL wideouts.

| 5/16/25 | Chargers-Packers trade proposal gives Justin Herbert new 25-year-old weapon. The Los Angeles Chargers finally made a significant addition to their wide receivers room with the selection of Tre Harris in the 2025 NFL draft. Harris is a wild card, seeing as how he's a rookie, Mike Williams is well past his prime, and Quentin Johnston is not a reliable target by any means. Knowing all that, it wouldn't be shocking to see the Chargers add even more firepower, especially considering the incredibly tough conference Los Angeles has to navigate.

| 5/12/25 | Is Los Angeles Chargers' aggravating weapon safer than we think?. If there is one Los Angeles Chargers player who has heard his name floated in trade speculation more than anyone else on the team, it's wide receiver Quentin Johnston. Couple the fact that the Chargers selected two receivers in the NFL draft with Johnston being a significant disappointment thus far, and you can see why. There are some who feel that the former first-round pick will not be in a Chargers uniform come Week 1, and I guess that's possible. For starters, Los Angeles has shown absolutely no indication that it plans on moving Johnston. Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/chargers/los-angeles-charge... |
| 5/02/25 | Chargers linked to intriguing WR trade with Cowboys. The Los Angeles Chargers selected a pair of wide receivers in the NFL Draft, landing both Tre Harris and KeAndre Lambert-Smith in the second and fifth rounds, respectively. The Chargers desperately needed to add weapons, and they did just that, also drafting running back Omarion Hampton and tight end Oronde Gadsden. Bleacher Report's Alex Kay thinks so, naming Quentin Johnston as a potential trade candidate, and he has identified the Dallas Cowboys as a possible landing spot.

| 4/11/25 | Chargers former first-round pick may be placed on the trade block. The Los Angeles Chargers will enter the 2025 NFL Draft with a good portion of the fanbase looking for the team to add at least one more wide receiver. The Chargers used their first-round pick in the 2023 draft on TCU wide receiver Quentin Johnston and despite finding the end zone eight times last season, he has been largely underwhelming in his first two seasons in the league. Johnston has 158 catches for 1,142 yards and 10 touchdowns after playing in 32 regular-season games for the team. As a result, Ralph Vacchiano of FOX Sports believes the team could put him on the trade block around the draft in two weeks. Source: https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/los-angeles-ch... |
| 4/01/25 | Analyst calls 2025 the 'last straw' for Chargers top pick. When the Los Angeles Chargers selected wide receiver Quentin Johnston in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft, they were certainly expecting a lot more than what they've gotten. Johnston logged just 38 catches for 431 yards and a couple of touchdowns during his rookie campaign, and this past season, he caught 55 passes for 711 yards and eight scores. Yes, the 23-year-old was certainly more productive in 2024, but he has still been a disappointment overall, and Lee Vowell of Bolt Beat thinks that Johnston could be playing for his job next season, naming him among three Chargers players who are on their "last straw." "In 2025, Johnston needs to make it all make sense," Vowell wrote. Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/chargers/analyst-calls-2025... |
| 1/17/25 | Los Angeles Chargers WR slammed with shockingly brutal take. When the Los Angeles Chargers selected Quentin Johnston in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft, they were fully expecting their receiving corps to get a massive boost. After all, Johnston has all the qualities of a top-flight receiver. After logging 38 catches for 431 yards and a couple of touchdowns during his rookie campaign, Johnston caught 55 passes for 711 yards and eight scores in 2024. Trevor Sikkema of Pro Football Focus spoke about Johnston recently, and he essentially said that Los Angeles cannot put any real hope in him moving forward.

| 1/09/25 | Chargers' fatal flaw that will doom them in 2025 NFL playoffs. The Los Angeles Chargers quickly reestablished themselves as a playoff team under Jim Harbaugh. This new version of the Bolts pivoted back to a physical identity that finishes off games. JK Dobbins added the bruising element Harbaugh envisioned. Harbaugh then ignited the career of second-year wide receiver Quentin Johnston, who scored eight touchdowns. Source: https://clutchpoints.com/chargers-fatal-flaw-that-... |
| 1/08/25 | Was Chargers WR Quentin Johnston's catch vs. Chiefs a career-changer?. If there was a moment when Quentin Johnston showed the known football universe that he had finally evolved into the wide receiver the Chargers always believed he could be, it was in the early minutes of a game against the Kansas City Chiefs on Dec. 8 at Arrowhead Stadium. Johnston ran a precise route deep into the Chiefs' secondary, caught a pass from Justin Herbert for a 21-yard gain and then absorbed a vicious hit from Kansas City linebacker Nick Bolton. Remarkably, Johnston held onto the ball, rising to his feet as if nothing had happened. Bolton was penalized 15 yards for unnecessary roughness.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers took the field for one play before Baker Mayfield threw an interception to Los Angeles Chargers rookie Tarheeb Still, his fourth on the season. Three plays later, Justin Herbert delivers a strike to Quentin Johnston, who made a shifty move on the Buccaneers defender in order to force his way into the endzone for six.
