LA Rams: A look at the team’s 2023 NFL Draft outlook

Wide receiver

The LA Rams have the best wide receiver unit in the National Football League. The group is led by Cooper Kupp, who himself is all-world when it comes to the best pass-catcher in the game. Kupp can take over and dominate with ease. In the LA Rams offense, he can be the single most important offensive weapon to don the horns for quarterback Matthew Stafford.

The wide receiver position is unique. With the big play ability to change a game, having a full shelf of talent is critical. Perhaps that is why we often find ourselves saying that there is no wide receiver that head coach Sean McVay doesn’t like.

TCU wide receiver Quentin Johnston is one such likable performer, and he is capable of putting up the big play on any given snap of the football. Standing 6-foot-4 and weighing 201-pounds, he is a huge but durable target that may become a draft target for the LA Rams in the draft.

Johnston A Big Target For Rams Quarterbacks

Johnston grew up in Temple, Texas, and attended Temple High School. He was rated a four-star recruit and initially committed to play college football at Texas. Johnston later flipped his commitment to TCU. He cited Texas’s firing of wide receivers coach Drew Mehringer, with whom he had developed a close relationship, as the reason for changing his commitment.

Johnston became a starter for TCU as a true freshman and caught 22 passes for a team-high 487 yards and two touchdowns. His 22.1 average yards per catch was the highest by a true freshman in the history of the Big-12 Conference.

Johnston was named first-team All-Big 12 as a sophomore after catching 33 passes and leading TCU with 612 receiving yards and six touchdown receptions. He was named preseason All-Big 12 entering his junior season.
