Rapidly blossoming into exactly the type of talent the Chargers hoped to develop during the 2024 season’s early goings, Quentin Johnson has become an example of what can happen when a franchise exercises patience with a young receiver. Exhibiting a similar composure during a touchdown — his afternoon’s second score on Sept. 15, 2024 — Johnston deliberately paces himself through a slant route across the Carolina Panthers’ zone defense, eventually connecting with his quarterback for a five-yard score. A big-play magnet during Los Angeles’ 26-3 blowout win, the 2023 first-rounder had a productive outing, turning in five catches (on six targets) for 51 yards and two touchdowns.
