“My coaches, my teammates, I owe far better, it was just straight-up unacceptable,” he says of a last-minute drop against Green Bay last November.
Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston catches a ball during an OTA practice last month in Costa Mesa. Johnston caught 38 passes for 431 yards and two touchdowns in 17 games as a rookie last season, figures that fell far short of expectations. He is trying to improve his focus. COSTA MESA — The ball and the game were in Quentin Johnston’s hands.
“The one that sticks in my mind is the one versus Green Bay,” Johnston said Tuesday. “I just kind of eased up like I wasn’t sure instead of just keeping on my path, which I should have done. I would have had an easy catch. Just at the catch point, taking my eyes off and not looking it all the way in.”Sanjay Lal, the Chargers’ new wide receivers coach, said he’s been determined not to look back but to look ahead during spring practices and meetings.
So, if Johnston didn’t necessarily feel like working out during the offseason or he wasn’t feeling “it” during recent practices, his mind drifted back to that game last season in Week 11 and he felt a surge of energy overtake him. If he needed extra motivation, he would call up the play and re-watch it again.“It was like, ‘Let me go back and feel what I felt then,’” he said. “Pulled it up real quick and got mad at myself again.
