"Not falling for the propaganda," one fan commented. "Until I see it in season, multiple times without a drop in- between, I'll believe it lol," another fan said. "Real ones know that was almost a drop and if the corner playing physical, it is," this fan wrote.

Others were excited to see Quentin Johnston in action after becoming the highlight of Day 1 of training camp.

"HES CATCHING I LOVE THIS," one fan said. "Eat it haters. Embrace the bolt," another fan commented. "Good job Q," this fan stated.

Quentin Johnston opens up about veteran WR Mike Williams' retirement

After spending last season with the Steelers, wide receiver Mike Williams was traded to the Los Angeles Chargers in March. He signed a one-year deal worth $6 million and would have lined up alongside Johnston. However, on July 17, Williams announced his retirement.

After the sudden departure of the veteran, Quentin Johnston will be expected to take up more responsibility this upcoming season. In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Johnston shared his thoughts on the situation.

"At this point, we're just treating it like the next man up," Jonhston said. "Him leaving was unexpected, but at the same time, we just gotta fill in the blank and keep moving."

The Chargers kick off their 2025 campaign with a showdown against the Chiefs in September.
