Quentin Johnston dropped a crucial pass late in a game against Green Bay last season. He's now using that as motivation for a better season.
He has refused to let it go, the pass that Quentin Johnston, as a rookie last season, most famously failed to catch. At Green Bay in Week 11, in the game’s final 30 seconds, Johnston couldn’t secure a ball that would have put the Chargers at least in range for a tying field-goal attempt. One fourth-down incompletion later, their 23-20 loss was official and an underwhelming first NFL season for Johnston crept painfully forward.
But what remains unclear is how much patience the team’s new regime will have for a top draft pick it inherited. Wide receivers coach Sanjay Lal was with Seattle last year and studied Johnston extensively leading up to the draft. The Seahawks were eyeing a receiver, too, and selected Jaxon Smith-Njigba at No. 20. “It’s not fair to look back,” Lal said when asked about Johnston’s uneven first year. “Looking forward, he moves as well as any receiver I’ve seen. So the potential is very high.
