Johnston arrived in Los Angeles in 2023 as the 21st overall pick and spent most of his rookie season in the starting lineup, drawing targets on a scant 13.7 percent of routes and catching just 56.7 percent of those chances. His numbers improved last season under a new coaching staff, with yards per route more than doubling from 0.88 to 1.85, but still had some ugly weeks on the road, including an 0-for-5 showing in the playoff loss at Houston. Johnston scored eight TDs and averaged 5.4 yards after the catch, but he caught just 60.4 percent of his targets while struggling to track balls downfield. The Chargers responded by drafting Tre Harris in the second round and later signing Keenan Allen, giving Johnston stiff competition for perimeter snaps in a balanced offense where Ladd McConkey is the clear No. 1 receiver. While there isn’t much chance of significant volume growth compared to last year, Johnston has some opportunities to maintain his role and improve on each target number.
After being drafted by the Chargers in the first round last year, Johnston had a terrible rookie season. Once Mike Williams went down with an ACL tear Week 3, Johnston typically played a lot of snaps but caught just 38 of 67 targets (56.7 percent) and eclipsed 30 yards in four games. In the final five weeks of the season, Johnston averaged 58 snaps but failed to reach 30 yards a single time. Despite the struggles in Year 1, Johnston should get another chance to prove himself in 2024 under a new coaching staff. Fellow WRs Keenan Allen and Mike Williams are gone from the Chargers, replaced by second-round pick Ladd McConkey and 27-year-old DJ Chark (now on his fourth team in four years). Johnston and Joshua Palmer are returning wideouts with experience as NFL starters, so it will likely come down to those two, McConkey and Chark taking most of the WR snaps under running-game-focused offensive coordinator Greg Roman.
Johnston is the No. 1 WR prototype in this year’s rookie class, while fellow first-rounders Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Jordan Addison and Zay Flowers don’t have perfect metrics. At 6-3, 208, Johnston put up a 40.5-inch vertical and a 134-inch broad jump at the 2023 combine, eventually running a reported 4.50 40 at his pro day. That’s after totaling 634 yards in eight games as a sophomore and 1,069 yards in 14 games as a junior, even with limited trunk routes and reliance on the deep ball. Fortunately for him, he ended up with one of the better deep throwers in the league, though Justin Herbert’s volume tilted toward the short passing game under former OC Joe Lombardi. New OC Kellen Moore has mostly had his Dallas offenses move quickly while taking plenty of shots downfield, and he may favor three-wide sets more than ever after the Chargers used the 21st overall pick on a talented receiver to pair with Keenan Allen and Mike Williams. It’s a situation where Johnston just profiles as the No. 3, making him unlikely to see more than 5-6 targets per game if Allen and Williams both stay healthy (which they won’t be last season).
