How Quentin Johnston can help Chargers, Justin Herbert take the top off defenses

COSTA MESA, Calif. -- Los Angeles Chargers general manager Tom Telesco says he’s never met a coach who didn’t want speed on his roster.

Telesco’s staff is no different.

However, the 2022 Bolts lacked the type of speed that's crucial to create an explosive offense.

That no longer is expected to be an issue.

With a first-round pick, the 21st overall selection, the Chargers selected TCU receiver Quentin Johnston, a 6-foot-4, 208-pound deep-threat target who also possesses an ability to create after the catch.

“He’s big, strong and fast,” said Telesco, entering his 11th season as general manager.
