You are not going to find a more devoted following for the new rookie class of NFL players than the one happening for Quinton Johnston.
What pick in the NFL Draft was Quinton Johnston?
He was selected as the 21st overall pick by the Los Angeles Chargers. In fact, Johnston was the 2nd selection in four straight picks being wide receivers. Even with only 4 wide receivers selected in the first round, there are a number of draft "experts" that have predicted the 2023 class could stand shoulder to shoulder with the best years ever.
It really is quite the story of going from Temple Independent School District as a Temple Wildcat to a true freshman starter for the Horned Frogs of Texas Christian University. At about 6'3" with a vertical jump of 40 inches, Johnston has the exact size, speed, leaping ability, and skills to have a highly successful career.
