Film Thoughts: Does a great job high pointing the ball, making contested catches. Route tree isn’t crisp. Tends to catch with his body more than he should. Doesn’t have great speed but can make people miss in the open field. Needs to work on blocking. Works better against man than zone. Has good hands. Can flip around very well. Doesn’t catch in traffic very well. Is able to create separation, but it isn’t consistent.
 
Quentin Johnston is a big-bodied receiver that does a good job high-pointing the ball. He’s smaller than I originally thought, but he still boasts a bigger size than many receivers in this draft class. He doesn’t have a deep repertoire of routes to run, but he is good in the vertical routes and crossing routes. When he catches the ball, he has good change of direction and other ball carrier moves. I think he has strong hands, but he doesn’t utilize them like he should. He has a habit of catching the ball with his body and in certain spots he needs to break that habit. I don’t love that he didn’t go through athletic testing at the combine, but hopefully at his pro day he can show out that aspect of his game. Overall, there are certain holes in his game that make me wary of him as a prospect, but I think he can carve his role in the redzone as a big target.
