The final first-round pick of former GM Tom Telesco's tenure, Johnston followed a disappointing rookie effort with a middling sophomore campaign. While all his numbers were up, finishing with a 55-711-8 line, he was almost immediately surpassed by McConkey and was limited to flashes of big-play ability surrounded by too much inconsistency. He still has good size (6-foot-2, 208 pounds) and speed, and he did lead the team in touchdown receptions last year, but through 32 games he hasn't looked the part of a top 25 pick.
As a holdover from the previous regime, Johnston finds himself on unsteady ground. With a strong camp, he could lock down a starting job alongside McConkey and probably Tre Harris. If he fails to show much growth, it's possible the team could move on, perhaps trading him to recoup a late-round pick or even releasing him outright -- an outcome that seems more plausible the more rookie KeAndre Lambert-Smith makes headlines with his strong play in camp. Johnston is someone you'll want to keep an eye on if he lands a starting gig, though even in that scenario using a speculative late-round pick on him feels a bit too rich.

WR Mike Williams calls is quits
Eight seasons in the NFL

FFToday's Take: Williams was placed on the PUP list a few days ago but has decided to end his time in the NFL, mostly spent with the Chargers. His best season came in 2021 when he finished with a 76-1146-9 line. The top of the Chargers wide receiver depth chart includes Ladd McConkey, Quentin Johnston and rookie Tre Harris who has yet to sign his contract.
