<a href="https://www.on3.com/college/tcu-horned-frogs/">TCU</a> wide receiver <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/quentin-johnston-144210/">Quentin Johnston</a> burst onto the scene this season, helping the Horned Frogs get to the national championship.



Now, Johnston turns his focus to the NFL and<a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2023/insider/story/_/id/35387629/ranking-nfl-draft-class-wide-receivers-scouts-help-stack-top-10-plus-comps-team-fits-standout-traits-intel-jaxon-smith-njigba-jordan-addison-quentin-johnston"> ESPN NFL Draft expert Matt Miller broke down where he’d fit among potential teams.</a> Not only that, but Johnston is pretty similar to another young stud in the pros.



Based on the scouting report, Johnston could be a problem for NFL defensive backs right away.



“Johnston is a post-up problem for defensive backs, but he also shows a second gear when running away from coverage and would-be tacklers,” <a href="https://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2023/insider/story/_/id/35387629/ranking-nfl-draft-class-wide-receivers-scouts-help-stack-top-10-plus-comps-team-fits-standout-traits-intel-jaxon-smith-njigba-jordan-addison-quentin-johnston">Miller wrote.</a> “He has forced 24 missed tackles on catches this season (fourth-most in the FBS), and his 239 receiving yards after first contact rank seventh. His combination of size, strength and speed is why many evaluators are placing him at the top of the receiver class.”



Miller pegged Johnston’s NFL comparison to Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver <a href="https://www.on3.com/db/tee-higgins-111113/">Tee Higgins</a>. The former <a href="https://www.on3.com/teams/clemson-tigers/">Clemson</a> star consistently improved over his young career.



As far as the best fits for Johnston? That’d be the Jacksonville Jaguars, Tennessee Titans and Baltimore Ravens.



Johnston finished the season with career numbers: 60 catches, 1,069 yards, six touchdowns and 17.8 yards per catch. In his career, Johnston had 115 catches, 2,190 yards, 14 touchdowns and 19 yards per catch.



As a member of the Class of 2020, Johnston was a four-star prospect out of Temple (Texas) High, according to the On3 Consensus. He was the No. 9 overall prospect in the state, the No. 17 wide receiver in the class and the No. 84 overall prospect in the class.
